Which thinking about my testing is probably the real problem.  When
running xfstests the it only printed "swap" as the file name, as the
tests create it under the rest mount points.  Which really is of
not use.  While printing /fstests/scratch/swap actually is useful.

I suspect the s390 issue with the hardcoded "/dev/" prefix is somewhat
similar.
