The patched kernel is on puma, not eskimo.

It won't hurt to mkfs the swap space; it won't help, either.  The swapper
treats the swap space as raw data space, and whatever filesystem info was
written there is ignored (and overwritten).

Swap space is accessed through the disklabel, not a special device file;
building devices is not required to use it.
