Subject[PATCH 1/6] mm: Generic swap file support

Add support for non block device backed swap files.

A new addres_space_operations method is added:
int swapfile(struct address_space *, int)

When during sys_swapon() this method is found and returns no error the
swapper_space.a_ops will proxy to sis->swap_file->f_mapping->a_ops.

The swapfile method will be used to communicate to the address_space that the
VM relies on it, and the address_space should take adequate measures (like
reserving memory for mempools or the like).
