I'll merge this series for testing.  Hopefully Andrea and/or Hugh will
find time for a quality think about the issue before 4.3 comes around.

It would be much better if we didn't have that sysfs knob - make the
control automatic in some fashion.

If we can't think of a way of doing that then at least let's document
max_ptes_swap very carefully.  Explain to our users what it does, why
they should care about it, how they should set about determining (ie:
measuring) its effect upon their workloads.
