Let's support __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SWP_EXCLUSIVE by reusing the SRMMU_DIRTY bit as that seems to be safe to reuse inside a swap PTE. This avoids having to steal one bit from the swap offset. While at it, relocate the swap PTE layout documentation and use the same style now used for most other archs. Note that the old documentation was wrong: we use 20 bit for the offset and the reserved bits were 8 instead of 7 bits in the ascii art.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
