Also see Xen tmem (in drivers/xen).  I am also working on a related project
called RAMster that uses frontswap.  And someone has started code for KVM
to work with transcendent memory (including frontswap).  But for now zcache
is the only non-virtualization in-kernel user for frontswap.

P.S. A recent build fix for zcache is necessary for it to work without
manual modification to the zcache Makefile.
