powerpc/nohash/mm: support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE
Let's support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE on 32bit and 64bit. On 64bit, let's use MSB 56 (LSB 7), located right next to the page type. On 32bit, let's use LSB 2 to avoid stealing one bit from the swap offset. There seems to be no real reason why these bits cannot be used for swap PTEs. The important part is that _PAGE_PRESENT and _PAGE_HASHPTE remain 0. While at it, mask the type in __swp_entry() and remove _PAGE_BIT_SWAP_TYPE from pte-e500.h: while it was used in 64bit code it was ignored in 32bit code.

- * The kernel PTE entry holds an arch-dependent swp_entry structure under
- * certain situations. In other words, in such situations some portion of
- * the PTE bits are used as a swp_entry. In the PPC implementation, the
- * 3-24th LSB are shared with swp_entry, however the 0-2nd three LSB still
- * hold protection values. That means the three protection bits are
- * reserved for both PTE and SWAP entry at the most significant three
- * LSBs.
- *
- * There are three protection bits available for SWAP entry:
- * _PAGE_PRESENT
- * _PAGE_HASHPTE (if HW has)
- *
- * So those three bits have to be inside of 0-2nd LSB of PTE.
- *
+ * The kernel PTE entry can be an ordinary PTE mapping a page or a special swap
+ * PTE. In case of a swap PTE, LSB 2-24 are used to store information regarding
+ * the swap entry. However LSB 0-1 still hold protection values, for example,
+ * to distinguish swap PTEs from ordinary PTEs, and must be used with care.
