Proposed fix to re-enable swapfile generation.

Using the same code as before, as we're unable to use a sparse file for swap (swapon: Skipping file /SWAP.swap - it appears to have holes).

The bad thing is that the first boot now takes more 3 minutes to finish :-(

As this change is important for all omap related boards (as we're still using ES1 for OMAP 4), it'd be good to push it and write an exception for Beta release, otherwise none of the Omap images will be ready for normal usage. What do you think Oliver?

For the final release we could study other possibilities to have a swap file and still have a fast installer (maybe creating it while generating the image).
