Subject: [POWERPC] 8xx: fix swap

This makes swap routines operate correctly on the ppc_8xx based machines.
Code has been revalidated on mpc885ads (8M sdram) with recent kernel. Based
on patch from Yuri Tikhonov <yur@...raft.com> to do the same on arch/ppc
instance.

Recent kernel's size makes swap feature very important on low-memory platforms,
those are actually non-operable without it.
