The old setup wastes most of this bitmap page, because
zero bits denote bad blocks or blocks past the end of the
swap space, and a simple integer suffices to indicate the
size of the swap space, while the bad blocks, if any, can
simply be listed. Nobody wants to use a swap space with
hundreds of bad blocks. (I would not even use a swap space
with 1 bad block.) In the new style swap area this is
precisely what is done. The maximum useful size of a swap
