[PATCH 1/3] Add r/w sysfs attribute for zcache_freeze

[Florian Schmaus <fschmaus@xxxxxxxxx>]

From: Andor Daam <andor.daam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch makes dynamic enabling/disabling of zcache via a sysfsnode possible.
The node is used to toggle the preexisting zcache_freeze variable to
stop/start accepting pages by zcache.
