According to markj@:
pageproc contains the page daemon and laundry threads, which are
responsible for managing the LRU page queues and writing back dirty
pages. vmproc's main task is to swap out kernel stacks when the system
is under memory pressure, and swap them back in when necessary. It's a
somewhat legacy component of the system and isn't required. You can
build a kernel without it by specifying "options NO_SWAPPING" (which is
a somewhat misleading name), in which vm_swapout_dummy.c is compiled
instead of vm_swapout.c.
Based on this, we want pageproc to emulate kswapd, not vmproc.

These are used by kms-drm to determine various heuristics relate
memory conditions.
The number of free swap pages is just a variable, and it can be
much cheaper by either adding a new getter, or simply extern'ing
swap_total. However, this patch opts to use the more expensive,
existing interface - since this isn't an operation in a high per
path.
This allows us to remove some more gpl linuxkpi and do the follo
kms-drm:
git rm linuxkpi/gplv2/include/linux/swap.h
