The following patch reserves space in the swap disk header for a LABEL and
UUID to be specified. This has been possible with util-linux-2.12b (via
e2fsprogs 1.36 libblkid), and is used by at least FC3 and later. The kernel
doesn't really care about this, but the space shouldn't accidentally be used
by something else either.
It also makes the on-disk structures be fixed-size types, instead of "int",
though I don't know of any architecture in use where an "int" isn't the
same size as a "__u32" (all current kernel arches have it as "unsigned int").
