    kernel - Remove P_SWAPPEDOUT flag and paging mode
    
    * This code basically no longer functions in any worthwhile or
      useful manner, remove it.
    
      The code harkens back to a time when machines had very little
      memory and had to time-share processes by actually descheduling
      them for long periods of time (like 20 seconds) and paging out
      the related memory.
    
      In modern times the chooser algorithm just doesn't work well
      because we can no longer assume that programs with large
      memory footprints can be demoted.
    
    * In modern times machines have sufficient memory to rely almost
      entirely on the VM fault and pageout scan.  The latencies caused
      by fault-ins are usually sufficient to demote paging-intensive
      processes while allowing the machine to continue to function.
    
      If functionality need to be added back in, it can be added back
      in on the fault path and not here.
