This implies, that even on a read fault, you would mark the pte dirty 
and it would have to be written back to swap if still in the swap cache 
and only read.

That is controversial.

What is less controversial is doing what mprotect() via 
change_pte_range()/can_change_pte_writable() would do: mark the PTE 
writable but not dirty.

I suggest setting the pte only dirty if FAULT_FLAG_WRITE is set.
