Yes.  Debugfs should be better place for these.  Will update it in the
next version.

And I also introduced sysfs interface in [2/6] and [5/6]

/sys/kernel/mm/swap/ra_hits
/sys/kernel/mm/swap/ra_total

/sys/kernel/mm/swap/vma_ra_enabled
/sys/kernel/mm/swap/vma_ra_max_order

Will add ABI document for them.
