Subject: [PATCH 6/6] nfs: Enable swap over NFS


Now that NFS can handle swap cache pages, add a swapfile method to allow
swapping over NFS.

NOTE: this dummy method is obviously not enough to make it safe.
A more complete version of the nfs_swapfile() function will be present
in the next VM deadlock avoidance patches.
