It'll also make all clean swapcache dirty for no good.

If we've to walk pagetables twice, why don't you do this:

writable=1
get_user_pages_fast(write=write_fault)
if (!write_fault)
   writable = __get_user_pages_fast(write=1)

That will solve the debugging knob and it'll solve ksm and it'll be
optimal for read swapins on exclusive clean swapcache too.
