One could probably argue about the amount of useful computation being
done by kswapd in this case. =)

The `top' output really suggests that kswapd has run amok on your
system. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't think of an occasion when I've
seen that symptom, so perhaps someone else on the list will be able to
suggest a diagnostic. (I could imagine kswapd doing a large amount of
work in situations where the system has become -- in error -- nearly
starved for allocatable pages. For this situation to occur immediately
upon startup seems unlikely, unless some logic error, say, in the
initial conditions for the zoned allocator, has been introduced into
your kernel.)

For reference, it may be helpful to know if this condition is repeatable
with a less dated kernel.
