comment it as "a subset of NR_FILE_MAPPED"?

Why move this 'cold' item to the first hot cache line?

The line wrapping is not necessary here.

ditto.

An overlong name, in my updated patch, I do it this way.

        "nr_bounce",
        "nr_vmscan_write",
        "nr_writeback_temp",
+       "nr_mapped_swapbacked",
 

The "mapped" comes first because I want to emphasis that
this is a subset of nr_mapped.

Thanks,
