Yes, MAX_SWAPPINESS is a hard limit. I'm not sure what you're
proposing here - the SYSCTL_ZERO and SYSCTL_TWO_HUNDRED values are a
little different than the defines I added. I think most of the value
is just consistently using the defines in the core mm code.

This one is already fixed in my patch.
