Thank for the heads up Bruno.
I am still booted in the 3.7.0-git kernel because
it is keeping the disks from sleeping or it is properly waking
the disks up before committing reads and writes.

However, because of the current kswapd, building a kernel is taking an
inordinately long time, so it will be likely 2 or 3 days on my old unicore
Athlon64 3700+ before I can boot the new 3.7X
