I am reviving this thread because new zsmalloc changes will make
mappings sleepable, which will allow zswap to drop the memcpy() in
zswap_decompress() -- except for the !virt_addr_valid() case. We can
get rid of that too if we can use kmap_tp_page() in the scatterlist
code.

Ira, could you please answer Barry's question above about
kmap_to_page()? It has been a year and kmap_to_page() is still around.

Thanks.
