[V2 fixes patch submission errors; no code changes] This patchset moves both the original "demo" zcache (in staging since 2.6.29) and ramster (in staging since 3.4) to a new stable code base which re-merges duplicate code and resolves various serious design flaws needed to allow progress in promoting zcache (and ramster) out of staging. An overview of the zcache rewrite is in the git commit of the new zcache patch. A significant item of debate in the new codebase is the removal of zsmalloc. This removal may be temporary if zsmalloc is enhanced with necessary features to meet the needs of the new zcache codebase. Justification for the change can be found at http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/8/15/292 While this new codebase is far from perfect (and thus remains in staging), the foundation is now cleaner, more stable, more maintainable, and much better commented.
