Add a noswap option to avoid accessing drives

I would like to propose the following patch that adds a "noswap" Kernel parameter that disables casper's automatic discovery and activation of any present swap partitions. The purpose is to not have the drives and drivers in use so that they can be accessed or unloaded without issue.
