I believe it won't help that much -- the new compressor API presumes
that the caller may sleep during compression and that will be an
accident waiting to happen as long as we use it and keep the handle
mapped in zsmalloc case.

Or maybe I interpreted you wrong and you are suggesting re-introducing
calls to the old API under this #ifdef, is that the case?
