[PATCH v2] staging: zcache: support multiple clients, prep for KVM and RAMster

Hi Greg --

I think this patch is now ready for staging-next and for merging when
the 3.1 window opens.  Please let me know if you need any logistics
done differently.

Thanks,
Dan

Subject: staging: zcache: support multiple clients, prep for KVM and RAMster

This is version 2 of an update to zcache, incorporating feedback from the list.
This patch adds support to the in-kernel transcendent memory ("tmem") code
and the zcache driver for multiple clients, which will be needed for both
RAMster and KVM support.  It also adds additional tmem callbacks to support
RAMster and corresponding no-op stubs in the zcache driver.  In v2, I've
also taken the liberty of adding some additional sysfs variables to
both surface information and allow policy control.  Those experimenting
with zcache should find them useful.

[v2: konrad.wilk at oracle.com: fix bools, add check for NULL, fix a comment]
[v2: sjenning at linux.vnet.ibm.com: add info/tunables for poor compression]
[v2: marcusklemm at googlemail.com: add tunable for max persistent pages]
