Title: 10x speedup of disk image building

By using a swap based md this seems to speed up our image generation by an order of magnitude.

It shaves about 10 minutes off our build.

Warning: you want a bunch of swap on your build machine otherwise things will explode. Might be a good option for "git-internal" builds only?
