[PATCH] mm: add a new function (needed for swap suspend)
This adds the function get_swap_page_of_type() allowing us to specify an index in swap_info[] and select a swap_info_struct structure to be used for allocating a swap page. This function (or another one of similar functionality) will be necessary for implementing the image-writing part of swsusp in the user space.  It can also be used for simplifying the current in-kernel implementation of the image-writing part of swsusp.
