Tim at al,
I got this on my desktop at shutdown:

kernel BUG at mm/swap_slots.c:270!

so there seems to be something screwy in the new swap_slots code.
Any ideas? I'm not finding other reports of this, but I'm also not
seeing why it should BUG_ON(). The "use_swap_slot_cache" thing very
much checks whether swap_slot_cache_initialized has been set, so the
BUG_ON() just seems like garbage. But please take a look.
