Utilize sf_buf_alloc() and sf_buf_free() to implement the ephemeral mappings required by mdstart_swap().  On i386, if the ephemeral mapping is already in the sf_buf mapping cache, a swap-backed md performs similarly to a malloc-backed md.  Even if the ephemeral mapping is not cached, this implementation is still faster.  On 64-bit platforms, this change has the effect of using the direct virtual-to-physical mapping, avoiding ephemeral mapping overheads, such as TLB shootdowns on SMPs.
