[ARM] pgtable: swp pte layout documentation, definitions, and check

Browse source 
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.

/* Encode and decode a swap entry.
/*
* Encode and decode a swap entry. Swap entries are stored in the Linux
* page tables as follows:
*
* We support up to 32GB of swap on 4k machines
* 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
* 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
* <--------------- offset --------------------> <--- type --> 0 0
*
* This gives us up to 127 swap files and 32GB per swap file. Note that
* the offset field is always non-zero.
