Subject: [PATCH v8 01/23] mm: Introduce PTE_MARKER swap entry
This patch introduces a new swap entry type called PTE_MARKER. It can be
installed for any pte that maps a file-backed memory when the pte is
temporarily zapped, so as to maintain per-pte information.
The information that kept in the pte is called a "marker". Here we define the
marker as "unsigned long" just to match pgoff_t, however it will only work if
it still fits in swp_offset(), which is e.g. currently 58 bits on x86_64.
A new config CONFIG_PTE_MARKER is introduced too; it's by default off. A bunch
of helpers are defined altogether to service the rest of the pte marker code.
