 /*
- * Encode and de-code a swap entry
+ * Encode/decode swap entries and swap PTEs. Swap PTEs are all PTEs that
+ * are !pte_none() && !pte_present().
  *
  * Constraints:
  *	_PAGE_PRESENT at bit 8
  *	_PAGE_PROTNONE at bit 9
  *
- * For the normal case, we encode the swap type into bits 0:7 and the
- * swap offset into bits 10:30. For the 64-bit PTE case, we keep the
- * preserved bits in the low 32-bits and use the upper 32 as the swap
- * offset (along with a 5-bit type), following the same approach as x86
- * PAE. This keeps the logic quite simple.
+ * For the normal case, we encode the swap type and offset into the swap PTE
+ * such that bits 8 and 9 stay zero. For the 64-bit PTE case, we use the
+ * upper 32 for the swap offset and swap type, following the same approach as
+ * x86 PAE. This keeps the logic quite simple.
  *
  * As is evident by the Alpha code, if we ever get a 64-bit unsigned
  * long (swp_entry_t) to match up with the 64-bit PTEs, this all becomes
  * much cleaner..
- *
- * NOTE: We should set ZEROs at the position of _PAGE_PRESENT
- *       and _PAGE_PROTNONE bits
