Good point. It seems that there are just two implementations of
the SIGTERM->SIGKILL delay; one in init(8) and one in reboot (halt
is a hard link to reboot, and shutdown(8) signals init to do the
killing). The reboot/halt code had the shorter delay of 5 seconds
which is probably why I noticed the problem more frequently in that
case.

I could implement a similar dynamic delay in init I suppose. On my
laptop I was seeing page-ins occurring for about 20 seconds after
the SIGTERM, so 10 seconds isn't always enough.
