It's also a tremendously large patchset :( And it depends upon your mm-swap-fix-race-between-swapoff-and-some-swap-operations.patch and mm-fix-race-between-swapoff-and-mincore.patch, the first of which has been floating about since February without adequate review. I'll give this patchset a spin in -mm to see what happens and will come back later to take a closer look. But the best I can do at this time is to hopefully cc some possible reviewers :)
