These devices require a notification on these events to function properly. Currently, I'm not sure if any of these event notifiers have any other users. However, adding ramzswap specific hooks instead of this generic approach resulted in a bad/hacky code. For SWAP_EVENT_SLOT_FREE, callbacks are made under swap_lock. Currently, this is not a problem since ramzswap is the only user and the callback it registers can be safely made under this lock. However, if this event finds more users, we might have to work on reducing contention on this lock (per-swap lock?).
