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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
