Ok, I'll see where this will fit.

If you use the `btrfs filesystem mkswapfile` to create the swap
file, the swapon command should work properly.  E.g. running `swapon` on
my desktop right now gives me:

NAME           TYPE SIZE USED PRIO
/swap/swapfile file   4G   0B   -2

And it also worked as expected when installing my machines.

Alright, I'll start working on one next week.
