Of course, by all means. That is just the minimal version to be
functional compatible with your zswap.writeback.

I might consider a follow up patch to add "no_zswap" and "none" to
convert the SSD only swapfile, which can't be expressed by
zswap.writeback.
That should cover all 4 combinations of zswap and swap files without
creating a custom swap tiers list.

"all": zswap + swapfile
"zswap": zswap only
"no_zswap": swapfile only.
"none": no swap.

All keyword names are open to suggestions.

Great!

My pleasure to discuss the swap with you. We should do the online
"swap meet" and invite other developers who are interested in the swap
area as well.
