And we also need to eventually phase generic_swapfile_activate out,
maybe by having a version with a get_blocks callback for the non-iomap

I think this wants to use iomap, as that would solve all the problems.

This probably needs to use the in-kernel direct I/O interface, just
as it is planned for cachefiles.
