One small comment. I miss "a" in "swap". Pretty please...

Feel free to add yourself to CREDITS, too. CREDITS are going to stay,
but this does not really belong here, and may have to be moved
somewhere else in future.

Nice...

Please don't. Just use "struct swap_map_page" instead.

Make it "extern unsigned int". (That is in more than one place).

Please, usefull words, that's receive_init and image_pages....
Otherwise it looks good. I'll check it once more...
