Subject: mm/swap: cache swap migration A/D bits support
Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2022 12:13:31 -0400

Introduce a variable swap_migration_ad_supported to cache whether the arch
supports swap migration A/D bits.

Here one thing to mention is that SWP_MIG_TOTAL_BITS will internally
reference the other macro MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS, which is a function call on
x86 (constant on all the rest of archs).

It's safe to reference it in swapfile_init() because when reaching here
we're already during initcalls level 4 so we must have initialized 5-level
pgtable for x86_64 (right after early_identify_cpu() finishes).

- start_kernel
  - setup_arch
    - early_cpu_init
      - get_cpu_cap --> fetch from CPUID (including X86_FEATURE_LA57)
      - early_identify_cpu --> clear X86_FEATURE_LA57 (if early lvl5 not enabled (USE_EARLY_PGTABLE_L5))
  - arch_call_rest_init
    - rest_init
      - kernel_init
        - kernel_init_freeable
          - do_basic_setup
            - do_initcalls --> calls swapfile_init() (initcall level 4)

This should slightly speed up the migration swap entry handlings.
