So while I slept I ran a test kernel with that swapops BUG replaced with a printk.
I'm not sure of the validity of this, given the state of the kernel afterwards
is somewhat suspect, but I did see in the logs this morning..

[18728.075153] migration_entry_to_page BUG hit
[18728.200705] BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff880241b3f500 idx:0 val:1 (Not tainted)
[18728.200706] BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff880241b3f500 idx:1 val:-1 (Not tainted)

This might be collateral damage from the swapops thing, I guess we won't know until
that gets fixed, but I thought I'd mention that we might still have a problem here.
