I have difficulty in reading "size of swap usage (the number of referred
swapents) by anonymous private data (shmem swap usage is not included)".

Luckily, VmSwap never was "the number of referred swapents", it's in kB.
So I suggest                    amount of swap used by anonymous private data
                                 (shmem swap usage is not included)

Good point, thanks!
