Test and clear the A bit of an EPC page when isolating pages during EPC
page swap.  Move accessed pages to the end of the load list instead of
the eviction list, i.e. isolate only those pages that have not been
accessed since the last time the swapping flow was run.

This basic LRU algorithm yields a significant improvement in throughput
when the system is under a heavy EPC pressure.

This patch is based on the code originally written Serge Ayoun for the
out-of-tree driver with a bug fix that the EPC pages are moved always to
the end of the list if they have been lately accessed. For unknown
reason a version of out-of-tree driver slipped into the Github, which
this regression.
