mm/vmscan.c: In function âremove_mappingâ:
mm/vmscan.c:387: warning: unused variable âswapâ

Ok so if we fix it by making swp_entry_t __attribute__((__unused__) we break
swap migration code?

If we make swap_free() an empty static inline function then gcc compiles in
the variable needlessly and we won't know it.

For the moment let's continue putting up with the warning.
