dump module: new feature
Hi
For people who are intersting to it, the dump modules is now checking that it is a swap device before configuring it. So it remove the risk to dump to a file system. It check for the swap magic "SWAP-SPACE" (v0) or "SWAPSPACE2" (v1). The partition is not necessary an active one,
it should only be created by mkswap (so no file system on it).
Cheers.

Hi Bruno,
I just recover my b2k test system (even I quiet sure to find from place to place some files corrupted by its crash) and I would so now find some free time to test your last patch if you would still submit it to me.
