You should add a comment right after 0 saying "/* everything */" or
something like that.

Shouldn't we use p->max instead? You are using that value in
__frontswap_flush_area and while it seems that maxpages == p->max
from uniformity standpoint it looks better.

If we failed to allocate the frontswap_map should we turn frontswap_enabled off?
