Hmm.. I'm not sure whether we should kill them now. I think originally,
these were added keeping in mind the future NFS swap support. Given that
the recent work from Peterz Zilstra on "Swap over NFS" and multiple
iterations/review on the same, I think those patches will eventually get
merged sooner or later. Perhaps, it's a good idea to #define
IS_SWAPFILE(a) 0 than killing them entirely..?
