Hmm, it appears this was the legendary swap readahead code I
was looking for a while ago :)

But, ehhh, just what _is_ this random swap stats-based prediction
algorithm, and how far from implementation is it?
(and if it isn't implemented yet, what should I do to make
it implemented; swapin readahead is very wanted on my
memory-starved box...)
