That, said, looking at the memory values:

rc6: Free+Buffers+A/I(Anon)+A/I(File)+Slab = 6769MB
rc7: ...                                   = 4714MB

That's 2GB unaccounted for.

So one brute-force way to see who allocated those 2GB is to use the page_owner debug feature. You need to enable CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER and then follow the Usage part of Documentation/vm/page_owner.txt If you can do that, please send the sorted_page_owner.txt for rc7 when it's semi-nearing the exhausted swap. Then you could start doing a comparison run with rc6, but maybe it will be easy to figure from the rc7 log already. Thanks.
