From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com>
PAE is artificially limited in terms of swapspace to the same bitsplit as
ordinary i386, a 5/24 split (32 swapfiles, 64GB max swapfile size), when a
5/27 split (32 swapfiles, 512GB max swapfile size) is feasible. This patch
transparently removes that limitation by using more of the space available
in PAE's wider ptes for swap ptes.
While this is obviously not likely to be used directly, it is important
from the standpoint of strict non-overcommit, where the swapspace must be
potentially usable in order to be reserved for non-overcommit. There are
workloads with Committed_AS of over 256GB on ia32 PAE wanting strict
non-overcommit to prevent being OOM killed.
