zram is messy, tricky, and I hate it.  Seriously, I which I had never
taken it into the staging tree...

Anyway, I want the existing zram developers/maintainers to review this
patch before I can accept it, as I don't trust anything that is ever
done in that code, especially as I don't test it :)

Minchan, Jiang, Nitin, what do you think of the patch below?  Can I get
your ack on it so that I can apply it?

thanks,

greg k-h
