[PATCH mm-unstable v1 13/26] nios2/mm: refactor swap PTE layout

[David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com>]

nios2 disables swap for a good reason: it doesn't even provide
sufficient type bits as required by core MM. However, swap entries are
nowadays also used for other purposes (migration entries,
PTE markers, HWPoison, ...), and accidential use could be problematic.

Let's properly use 5 bits for the swap type and document the layout.
Bits 26--31 should get ignored by hardware completely, so they can be
used.
