Thanks for debugging this one.

IIUC it's not about PAE but !SPARSEMEM, as PAE actually has it defined when
with sparsemem:

#ifdef CONFIG_X86_32
# ifdef CONFIG_X86_PAE
#  define SECTION_SIZE_BITS	29
#  define MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS	36
# else
#  define SECTION_SIZE_BITS	26
#  define MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS	32
# endif
#else /* CONFIG_X86_32 */
# define SECTION_SIZE_BITS	27 /* matt - 128 is convenient right now */
# define MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS	(pgtable_l5_enabled() ? 52 : 46)
#endif

One trivial comment below.

Can we add a comment showing where SWP_TYPE_SHIFT comes from?  It should be
a min value comes from either the limitation of phys address width, or from
definition of swp_entry_t (which is unsigned long).

Or I'd rather make this then the code explains better on itself, and the
change should be smaller too:

 #ifdef MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS           
 #define SWP_PFN_BITS                   (MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS - PAGE_SHIFT)
 #else  /* MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS */
-#define SWP_PFN_BITS                   (BITS_PER_LONG - PAGE_SHIFT)
+#define SWP_PFN_BITS                   MIN((sizeof(phys_addr_t) * 8) - \
+                                           PAGE_SHIFT, SWP_TYPE_SHIFT)
 #endif /* MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS */  
 #define SWP_PFN_MASK                   (BIT(SWP_PFN_BITS) - 1)
                                 
What do you think?
