Sounds like a reasonable approach. Perhaps a different name of the 
callback since this is a two-step process - releasing the pages to shmem 
and then optionally writeback to swapcache.

IMHO we need to clean this up a bit since tts might (although perhaps 
not while swapping) might have a different lifetime than the object, for 
example if it's moved to a ghost object during async migration, 
alternatively group members together that are only parameters to the 
unpopulate()
function; obj and do_backup, and document that they are only valid while 
the object lock is held. filp and is_shmem should be OK as they are. 
Perhaps obj could be replaced with bool dirty, and instead of do_backup 
perhaps we could look at whether the TTM_TT_FLAG_SWAPPED was set before 
unpopulate?

I guess this needs fixing following Christian's email unless we put all 
EXTERNAL objects on a bdev->external list.
