Wouldn't consuming nr_pages be more consistent with other functions that consume
swap entry ranges?

While at it, can you please call that swapcount?

Interesting, the function already seems to do what we want. Weird that we
indicate PM_SWAP for migration entries ...

Also, are device_private PMD's handled correctly? *doubt*

[maybe there were patches, not sure]
