This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: zram: record accessed second
zRam as swap is useful for small memory device. However, swap means those
pages on zram are mostly cold pages due to VM's LRU algorithm.
Especially, once init data for application are touched for launching, they
tend to be not accessed any more and finally swapped out. zRAM can store
such cold pages as compressed form but it's pointless to keep in memory.
Better idea is app developers free them directly rather than remaining
them on heap.
This patch records last access time of each block of zram so that With
upcoming zram memory tracking, it could help userspace developers to
reduce memory footprint.
