Moving file-backed pages is mostly handled already.  You can do a

done in the same style as shrink_list().

Actually, it is a bit more complicated.
I have implemented similar functionality for memory hotremoval.

See my post about memory hotremoval
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=107354781130941&w=2
for details.
remap_onepage() and remapd() in the patch are the main functions.
