Add CONFIG_XSWAP Kconfig option (depends on SWAP && 64BIT) for extendable (virtual) swap device support. Add three fields to struct swap_info_struct under CONFIG_XSWAP: - cluster_vm: the VM_SPARSE vm_struct backing the cluster_info array - nr_clusters: total number of clusters in the xswap address space - nr_clusters_mapped: number of clusters currently mapped (lazy grow) These fields enable lazy vmalloc-based dynamic cluster management.
