Ok, having gone through the places that use swp_*soft_dirty(), I have
to agree. Afaik, it's only ever used on a swap-entry that has (by
definition) the P bit clear. So with or without Xen, I don't see how
it can make any difference.
David/Konrad - did you actually see any issues, or was this just from
