From -current NOTES (don't have 4.9 arround):
Disable swapping of upages and stack pages. This option removes all
code which actually performs swapping, so it's not possible to turn
it back on at run-time.
This is sometimes usable for systems which don't have any swap space
(see also sysctls "vm.defer_swapspace_pageouts" and
"vm.disable_swapspace_pageouts")
optionsNO_SWAPPING
But I think I used exactly that option when I did my embedded BSD more than
one year ago.
