From: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: s390/pgtable: cleanup description of swp pte layout

Bit 52 and bit 55 don't have to be zero: they only trigger a
translation-specifiation exception if the PTE is marked as valid, which is
not the case for swap ptes.

Document which bits are used for what, and which ones are unused.
