1. Enable zswap by writing 1 to /sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled

2. Create enough memory pressure that the system starts hitting swap.
   E.g. in my case I think a full LLVM build does the trick.
   /sys/kernel/debug/zswap/pool_total_size should contain a non-0 value
   now.

3. Run the piglit gpu profile.
