Hi,

partman-basicfilesystems 96 added commit.d/format_swap, which uses
mkswap (a Busybox utility for formatting Linux swap space) for any type
of swap partition.

mkswap, and the whole format_swap script, is of no use to kfreebsd (or
hurd I presume - please correct me if I'm wrong);  on kfreebsd we don't
need to format our swap space to use it.  This patch exits early from
the script on non-Linux architectures.

I've used $(archdetect) here to be consistent with check.d/ext2_boot;
the limitation is that this doesn't allow for a "linux-*" pattern patch,
so I had to list all (2) of the non-linux architecture prefixes.

I've tested this on kfreebsd-amd64, and also that swap space still gets
mounted when partman is finished.

Thanks,
Regards,
