Swap allocation has always started from the beginning of the swap area; but if we're dealing with a solidstate swap device which can only remap blocks within limited zones, that would sooner wear out the first zone. Therefore sys_swapon() test whether blk_queue is non-rotational, and if so randomize the cluster_next starting position for allocation. If blk_queue is nonrot, note SWP_SOLIDSTATE for later use, and report it with an "SS" at the right end of the kernel's "Adding ... swap" message (so that if it's both nonrot and discardable, "SSD" will be shown there). Perhaps something should be shown in /proc/swaps (swapon -s), but we have to be more cautious before making any addition to that format.
