I'm resending the reapswap patch for inclusion into -ac series. 
Isn't it broken in this state?  Checking page_count, page->buffers and
PageSwapCache without the appropriate locks is dangerous.
We hold the pagemap_lru_lock, so there will be no one doing lookups on
this swap page (get_swapcache_page() locks pagemap_lru_lock).

Am I overlooking something here?
