I am really welcome if you accept the patch for zram.
But I saw you said to Dan that you don't accept zsmalloc, zram and
zcache patches
any more unless the patch is obvious bug fix or for promoting it.
So I am really confused about the criteria of bugfix you have thought
because I thought
Fengguang's patch is clean-up patch so I just meant to help you.
I believe obvious bug fix is things to make trouble without it in real
practice, NOT imagine as if stable_kernel_rules.txt said.

I am Ccing z* stuff friends because they should know about it exactly
so that we can't bother you any more.

Thanks.
