2.6.7 compile errors due to include loops on sparc(32)

That's because swp_entry_t used in BTFIXUPDEF_CALL macro uses in
<asm-sparc/pgtable.h> - swp_entry_t is defined in <linux/swap.h>,
which indirectly includes <asm/pgtable.h> before defining swp_entry_t -
so <linux/swap.h> include in <asm-sparc/pgtable.h> is skipped as
_LINUX_SWAP_H is already defined.

Workaround is to move swp_entry_t typedef on top of <linux/swap.h>,
before includes - but it's ugly.

The next problem is:

  CC      arch/sparc/kernel/process.o

                 from arch/sparc/kernel/process.c:19:

include/linux/pagemap.h: In function `wait_on_page_writeback':

quite similar case - struct vma_area_struct is defined in <linux/mm.h>,
which indirectly includes <linux/pagemap.h>, which uses it.
On other archs <asm/pgtable.h> doesn't include <linux/swap.h>, so this
problem is sparc-specific too; but removing #include <linux/swap.h> from
<asm-sparc/pgtable.h> doesn't work without hacking many files, so
I couldn't find any simple workaround...
