I think this patch should be merged with 3/7. Otherwise, MADV_FREE will
be broken during the bisect.

trivial:
How about using PageLazyFree for consistency with other PageXXX?
As well, use SetPageLazyFree/ClearPageLazyFree rather than using
raw {Set,Clear}PageSwapBacked.

trivial:
How about "deactivate_lazyfree_page"? IMO, it would show intention
clear that move the lazy free page to inactive list.
It's just matter of preference so I'm not strong against.

I don't see why you set file with 0. Could you explain the rationale?
