    Have you tried to tune SWAP_SHIFT and the priority used inside swap_out()
    to see if you can make pte deactivation less aggressive ?

    If you get the desired effect tuning those values and you end up with the
    conclusion that this tuning is a good change for most "common workloads",
    it can be integrated in the main kernel.
