You not only need to track which index within a file this swapped page
belongs to but also which file. And that starts to get tricky. It may
or may not have a name; it may or may not have a persistent inode number;
it may or may not have a persistent fhandle. If it's on network storage,
it may have been modified by another machine. If it's on removable
storage, it may have been modified by another machine.
