Subjectkswapd initialization bug fix for 2.1.46
I just updated my kswapd initialization patch so that this new version 
patches cleanly against 2.1.46. This fixes the problem in the latest
and greatest. I would really it if this goes into 2.1.47, since
this has been bugging me for a while. This modifies the initialization
of kswapd so that it prints out its init message before the kswapd kernel
thread is spawned. This ensures that the kswapd initialization message will
never be printed in the middle of another driver's init message.

Before:

Partition check:
hda:Started kswapd v 1.23
hda1 hda2 hda3
hdc: hdc1 hdc2 < hdc5 hdc6 >
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.


After:

Starting kswapd v 1.23
[--------Several driver init messages snipped--------]
Partition check:
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3
hdc: hdc1 hdc2 < hdc5 hdc6 >
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
