Add support for checksumming the swap pages written to disk, using the

Note that this code does not checksum the software suspend image.

On 64-bit, we may be able to store the checksum in the pte, if the swap
device is small enough.
If we take the trouble to touch the page, we may as well compare it
against zero, and if so drop it instead of swapping it out.
