Though depending on config can't these tag numbers change anyway?

So I can, but the way these are defined makes the results seem pretty
terrible:

#define SWP_MIGRATION_WRITE    (MAX_SWAPFILES + SWP_HWPOISON_NUM \
                    + SWP_MVOLATILE_PURGED_NUM + 1)

Particularly when:
#define MAX_SWAPFILES ((1 << MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT)        \
                - SWP_MIGRATION_NUM        \
                - SWP_HWPOISON_NUM        \
                - SWP_MVOLATILE_PURGED_NUM    \
            )

Its a lot of unnecessary mental gymnastics. Yuck.

Would a general cleanup like the following be ok to try to make this
more extensible?

thanks
