Well I guess it's a matter of point of view; My view is that 18f3962953e4 is the
buggy change because it broke the interface to not be able to handle swap
entries which do not contain PFNs. The fact that there were no callers that used
the interface in this way at the time of the commit is irrelevant in my view.
But I already added 2 fixes tags; one for the buggy commit, and the other for
the commit containing the new user of the interface.
