RAM is cheap, so I don't need swapping.
Naps are -not- negotiable.

Ok, I booted with hw.physmem="16M", and a buildworld paniced with
"free/cache page dirty". (I was taking a nap at the time the buildworld
crashed, we'll talk about that soon.)
(Are you guys running with INVARIANTS?)
So, I think we'll just include a warning with 4.9:
WARNING!
Do not attempt to stress a FreeBSD 4.9 machine if you:
a) Will be swapping whatsoever
or
b) Will be taking a nap while it is running.
Doing either or both of these may result in panics.

P.S. - now that we have an easy way to reproduce this, perhaps we can get
it fixed.
