SubjectFrontswap [PATCH 1/4] (was Transcendent Memory): swap data structure changes
Frontswap [PATCH 1/4] (was Transcendent Memory): swap data structure changes

Core swap data structures are needed by frontswap.c but we don't
need to expose them to the dozens of files that include swap.h
so create a new swapfile.h just to extern-ify these.

Add frontswap-related elements to swap_info_struct. Don't tie
these to CONFIG_FRONTSWAP to avoid unnecessary clutter around
various frontswap hooks.
