[RFC] 1/4 - Migration Cache Core Implementation

[RFC] 1/4 - Migration Cache Core Implementation

[Lee Schermerhorn]

Migration Cache "V8" 1/4

This patch contains the core implementation of a "migration cache"
for 2.6.16+ direct migration.  Because the migration cache is
essentially a "pseudo-swap device"--it steals the maximum swap
device id--the core implementation now resides in mm/swap_state.c
along with the real swap address space functions.  Also, a few
changes were required--especially in page locking--to accomodate
the 2.6.16 usage and "migration_move_to_swap()"--provided in a
separate patch.

Subsequent patches will add the necessary checks for pages that
are in the migration cache and for migration cache pte entries
throughout the MM subsystem, and will modify the direct migration
functions to use the migration cache when destination pages are
available.
