Hi Lorenzo,
swapper_pg_dir is the kernel page directory. It's defined in
arch/i386/kernel/head.S.
I'm working on documenting the 2.4.0 MM subsystem. I've got
initialization and the zone allocator pretty well covered
at this point. I'll post a URL here when I make it publically
available; should be pretty soon.
