I'm still not a fan of the fact that entry could be anywhere within folio.

nit: if you do:

if (!system_supports_mte())
	return;

It will be consistent with arch_prepare_to_swap() and reduce the indentation of
the main body.

This assumes that folios are always stored in swap with natural alignment. Is
that definitely a safe assumption? My swap-out series is currently ensuring that
folios are swapped-out naturally aligned, but that is an implementation detail.

Your cover note for swap-in says that you could technically swap in a large
folio without it having been swapped-out large. If you chose to do that in
future, this would break, right? I don't think it's good to couple the swap
storage layout to the folio order that you want to swap into. Perhaps that's an
argument for passing each *page* to this function with its exact, corresponding
swap entry?
