It is complicated, agreed.
With the ->private for THP_SWAP gone, we would have to document less.
Stating that 4*4byte / 4*8 byte are available after flags+head would
be sufficient and I'd even drop the table.

Instead of documenting that thp swap should no longer touch the private
field of tail pages, maybe we can indeed fix that quite easily.
My simple tests passed so far. If there isn't something obvious missing,
I can do more testing and send this as an official patch.

Subject: [PATCH] mm/swap: stop using page->private on tail pages for THP_SWAP
Let's stop using page->private on tail pages, making it possible to
just unconditionally reuse that field in the tail pages of large folios.
