No. Not setting PageDirty will cause the system to move the
page to the inactive_clean list and happily reclaim your data.

We _have to_ use something like PageDirty for this, and
checking for the ->writepage method will even allow us to
do stuff like dynamically switching swapping support for
ramfs on/off (or other funny things).
