Let's support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE just like we already do on
x86-64. After deciphering the PTE layout it becomes clear that there are
still unused bits for 2-level and 3-level page tables that we should be
able to use. Reusing a bit avoids stealing one bit from the swap offset.
While at
Let's support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE by using bit 1. This
bit should be safe to use for our usecase.
Most importantly, we can still distinguish swap PTEs from PAGE_NONE PTEs
(see pte_present()) and don't use one of the two reserved attribute
masks (1101 and ). Attribute mask 1100 and 11
Let's support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE by using bit 10, which is
yet unused for swap PTEs.
The pte_mkuptodate() is a bit weird in __pte_to_swp_entry() for a swap PTE
... but it only messes with bit 1 and 2 and there is a comment in
set_pte(), so leave these bits alone.

Let's support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE by reusing the SRMMU_DIRTY
bit as that seems to be safe to reuse inside a swap PTE. This avoids
having to steal one bit from the swap offset.

style now used for most other archs. No

in swap PMD context later.

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 impo

_PAGE_ACCESSED location in the swap PTE. Looking at pte_present()

nios2 disables swap for a good reason: it doesn't even provide
sufficient type bits as required by core MM. However, swap entries are
nowadays also used for other purposes (migration entries,
PTE markers, HWPoison, ...), and accidential use could be problematic.
