Hi Sergey,

I think the idea that break of fixed subpages in zspage is
really good start to optimize further. However, I am worry
about introducing per-pool config this stage. How about
to introduce just one golden value for the zspage size?
order-3 or 4 in Kconfig with keeping default 2?

And then we make more efforts to have auto tune based on
the wasted memory and the number of size classes on the
fly. A good thing to be able to achieve is we have indirect
table(handle <-> zpage) so we could move the object anytime
so I think we could do better way in the end.
