1) It was 3AM in the morning, and I didn't want to fight a rename that
touched 26 patches in the set.

2) I like "swdev_" prefix because it's short and sweet and I don't
like long-winded symbols when a shorter one will do, so I had little
motivation for 1)

3) This is one of those labeling exercises where we can't get
consensus on the name.  So I'm ignoring to get the important stuff in,
and someone else can sponsor a name change.
