 How to use this feature
------------------------
+=======================
 
 Swap device has priority and that decides the order of it to be used. To make
 use of automatically binding, there is no need to manipulate priority settings
 for swap devices. e.g. on a 2 node machine, assume 2 swap devices swapA and
 swapB, with swapA attached to node 0 and swapB attached to node 1, are going

-# swapon /dev/swapA

 Then node 0 will use the two swap devices in the order of swapA then swapB and
 node 1 will use the two swap devices in the order of swapB then swapA. Note

 A more complex example on a 4 node machine. Assume 6 swap devices are going to
 be swapped on: swapA and swapB are attached to node 0, swapC is attached to
 node 1, swapD and swapE are attached to node 2 and swapF is attached to node3.
-The way to swap them on is the same as above:
-# swapon /dev/swapA
-# swapon /dev/swapB
-# swapon /dev/swapC
-# swapon /dev/swapD
-# swapon /dev/swapE
-# swapon /dev/swapF

-Then node 0 will use them in the order of:
-swapA/swapB -> swapC -> swapD -> swapE -> swapF

 Implementation details

 The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
 which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
