Can it be done as a shutdown hook per swap dev instead, or does that happen
too late in the shutdown process?

It feels like it would be more elegant to have each thing that needs to be
undone at shutdown be registered in an ordered list, so you could do stuff
like: mount a raid fs, vnconfig a couple devs using files on the raid, mount
another raid using those devs, vnconfig a file within that, reboot; 
and have it all nicely un-do itself.
