Wouldn't that mean if high order folios are used a lot but swap is also
used, until this is fixed you wouldn't get the expected reclaim gains
for high order folios and we'd need compaction more then?

As we look at shmem stuff it was on the path so something we have
considered doing. Ie, it's on our team's list of items to help with
but currently on a backburner.
