We can also use it for the same purpose, we could add the pages to
swapcache mark them dirty and zap the ptes _after_ that.

Wouldn't that cause the pages to get swapped out immediately?
If so, I don't think this would be the best approach: It would be better to just move the pages to the inactive list, if they aren't there already, so that they get swapped out only when they really need to be.
