Neither this commit msg nor above omap commit explain why do we want it.
I know what zram is, I know its purpose, but the commit should answer
why we want it in defconfig.

To me it is not a matching defconfig at all:
1. Not a feature related to Exynos hardware,
2. Not needed for basic boot (systemd) or debug.

BTW, I think the base commit makes sense if it is "well-known commit". I
have latest master and next and commit is unknown.
