Note that there is no reason we can't, as a temporary measure, have a privileged translator on /servers/defpager that accepts default_pager_* calls and relays them to the real default pager. It could then allow unprivileged users to do object_create, and only privileged users to do the swap-controlling calls. We could make it check its node permission bits against the caller, e.g. if you can read you can default_pager_info, if you can write you can use default_pager_paging_storage. Then you could e.g. have a "swap" group that is allowed to use swapon/swapoff rather than only root.
