Thanks Karl - that's understood. I posted the patches to better explain the
issue I faced - this new parameter I introduced in topology.c is accessible
only when I pass the root disk dev node to mkswap (as /dev/mmcblkX)
and not when invoked with /dev/mmcblkXpY) (i.e a partition with the device).

So how should the topology probe be invoked in this case ?
Thanks,
Venkat.
