That seems like a sane thing to do (seeing as none of the clients will
be functional if their swap space just disappeared anyway).  However,
this is a Linux server we're talking about so cleaning out stale data
shouldn't depend on a reboot which may never come ;-P

Cleaning the stale nfs swap data on reboot seems to be "duh" obvious,
but should be in addition to the other methods.
