I'll just use (SWAP_ADDRESS_SPACE_PAGES - 1) then, I was trying to
make the changes minimal, but prefered the BIT macro, a trivial
change.

That's OK, if the (end - curr) goes above SWAP_ADDRESS_SPACE_PAGES, it
means all content in current address_space needs to be purged.
xas_for_each will stop after it iterated all content in the current
address space. This is a bit hackish though.

It should be equivalent, as described above, but yeah, this looks
cleaner. I'll use your suggested code.
