[ARM] pgtable: swp pte layout documentation, definitions, and check
Document the layout of our swp PTE entries, adding definitions for the bit masks/shifts/sizes, and implement MAX_SWAPFILES_CHECK() such that we fail to build if we are unable to properly encode the swp type field. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
