CIFS can not be built as a module because it cifs_readpages calls:
__pagevec_lru_add
add_to_page_cache
The patch to mm/filemap.c and mm/swap.c is trivial, the question is
should those internal functions be exported in the first place.

Yes they need to be exported. Otherwise filesystems cannot implement
a fully custom readpages address_space op.
I have a fix for this queued.
