Applied, thanks! I loosened the restriction of being able to use a maximum
of 1/8-hdsize as swap to a maximum of 1/2, to avoid artificial limitations
without much value, as while such a relative big amount of swap is probably
rather odd in anyway, it can work and there _are_ odd use cases, so let's
not be overly strict.
