Forgot to iterate over the entries in the ->prev direction to prefetch in MRU
order; fixed that in this version. Resync with rc4.
Cheers,

This patch implements swap prefetching when the vm is relatively idle and
there is free ram available. The code is based on some preliminary code by
Thomas Schlichter.
This stores a list of swapped entries in a list ordered most recently used
and a radix tree. It generates a low priority kernel thread running at nice 19
to do the prefetching at a later stage.
Once pages have been added to the swapped list, a timer is started, testing
for conditions suitable to prefetch swap pages every 5 seconds. Suitable
conditions are defined as lack of swapping out or in any pages, and no
watermark tests failing. Significant amounts of dirtied ram and changes in
free ram representing disk writes or reads also prevent prefetching.
It then checks that we have spare ram looking for at least 3* pages_high free
per zone and if it succeeds that will prefetch pages from swap into the swap
cache. The pages are added to the tail of the inactive list to preserve LRU
ordering.
Pages are prefetched until the list is empty or the vm is seen as busy
according to the previously described criteria. Node data on numa is stored
with the entries and an appropriate zonelist based on this is used when
allocating ram.
The pages are copied to swap cache and kept on backing store. This allows
pressure on either physical ram or swap to readily find free pages without
further I/O.
Prefetching can be enabled/disabled via the tunable in
/proc/sys/vm/swap_prefetch initially set to 1 (enabled).
Enabling laptop_mode disables swap prefetching to prevent unnecessary
spin ups.
In testing on modern pc hardware this results in wall-clock time activation of
the firefox browser to speed up 5 fold after a worst case complete swap-out
of the browser on a static web page.
