Does the swap_zone really need a backing object?  This is just so the
operation wont fail for lack of kva, right?  Is this really necessary
here?  I thought we did it before so that we could allocate at interrupt
time, since pages could be allocated, but kva could not.  I doubt this
code runs at real interrupt time anymore.
