Ever since abandoning the virtual scan of processes, for scalability
reasons, swap space has been a little more fragmented than before.
This can lead to the situation where a large memory user is killed,
swap space ends up full of "holes" and swapin readahead is totally
ineffective.
On my home system, after killing a leaky firefox it took over an
hour to page just under 2GB of memory back in, slowing the virtual
machines down to a crawl.
This patch makes swapin readahead simply skip over holes, instead
of stopping at them. This allows the system to swap things back in
at rates of several MB/second, instead of a few hundred kB/second.
