This patch adds the hooks in the vmscan logic to discard volatile pages
and mark their pte as purged. With this, volatile pages will be purged
under pressure, and their ptes swap entry's marked. If the purged pages
are accessed before being marked non-volatile, we catch this and send a
SIGBUS.
This is a simplified implementation that uses logic from Minchan's earlier
efforts, so credit to Minchan for his work.
