As I understand things pte_none() == False for a special swap pte, but
shouldn't this be treated as pte_none() here? Ie. does this need to be
pte_none(ptent) || is_swap_special_pte() here?

Are there other changes required here? Because we can end up with stale special
pte's and a special pte is !pte_none don't we need to fix some of the !pte_none
checks in these functions:
insert_pfn() -> checks for !pte_none
remap_pte_range() -> BUG_ON(!pte_none)
apply_to_pte_range() -> didn't check further but it tests for !pte_none
In general it feels like I might be missing something here though. There are
plenty of checks in the kernel for pte_none() which haven't been updated. Is
there some rule that says none of those paths can see a special pte?

I was wondering if we can loose the special pte information here? However I see
that in migrate_vma_insert_page() we check again and fail the migration if
!pte_none() so I think this is ok.
I think it would be better if this check was moved below so the migration fails
early. Ie:
if (pte_none(pte)) {
if (vma_is_anonymous(vma) && !is_swap_special_pte(pte)) {
Also how does this work for page migration in general? I can see in
page_vma_mapped_walk() that we skip special pte's, but doesn't this mean we
loose the special pte in that instance? Or is that ok for some reason?
