There are 3 possibilities I think (swap is just another variant of the
page cache):
1) The page is not in the page cache, e.g., it resides on disk or in a
swap file. pte_none().
2) The page is in the page cache and is not mapped into the page table.
pte_none().
3) The page is in the page cache and mapped into the page table.
!pte_none().
Do I understand correctly that you want to identify 1) and indicate it
via PM_SWAP?
