I've got some small nits with this. I guess I just wish that if we're
going to sprinkle hooks all over that we'd have those hooks be as useful
as possible for people who have to look at them on a daily basis.

Do you also want to put in the page bit which is being waited on?

How about putting the swap file number and the offset as well?

For knowing this one, the write access can be pretty important. It can
help you find copy-on-write situations as well as some common bugs that
creep in here.

I think you should also add tracing to the hugetlb code while you're at
it. Those poor fellows seem to be always getting left out these
days. :)

I'd also like to see the swap file number and the location in swap for
this one.
