- Unused function getbootdevice in tc-functions
- the new swapfile logic always scans for the file. I suggest moving the line

[ -z "$SWAPFILE" ] && SWAPFILE="$(autoscan 'tc.swp' 'f')"

inside the noswap check, so that the autoscan for a swapfile is not done with "noswap", but a swap file still works with "noswap swapfile=hda1" specified for example.

On second thought, I think that swpafile should not be a candidate for autoscan.
I believe it is rare that one actually creates a swapfile, yet everyone pays for the delay of its autoscan.

Even if I move to noswap test as suggested, still everyone pays for the autoscan delay, unless they don't use any swap at all. I think typically users do have a swap partition and it is rare to have setup a swapfile. So why make users wait for an autoscan completion on a rarely used configuration. Witness the fact that it took so long for the bug in this area to even be reported.

I will make the use of a swapfile require the swapfile= boot option in the next cut.
