Sorry for not getting to v2 in time, but I have to say I strongly
agree with your first iterations and would much prefer this to be
open-coded.
IMO this needlessly introduces a new state opaquely called "lazyfree",
when really that's just anonymous pages that don't need to be swapped
before reclaim - PageAnon && !PageSwapBacked. Very simple MM concept.
That especially shows when we later combine it with page_is_file_cache
checks like the next patch does.
The rest of the patch looks good to me.
