At the monent, we can configure zram in driver/block once zsmalloc
in /lib menu is configured firstly. It's not convenient.

User can configure zram in driver/block regardless of zsmalloc enabling
by this patch.

As ZSMALLOC is dependant on CONFIG_STAGING, this isn't going to work at
all, sorry.
Perhaps you missed [PATCH 1/3] zsmalloc: promote to lib/ ? The first
patch in this series moves zsmalloc out of the staging directory, and
removes the dependency on CONFIG_STAGING.
Ah, I did, thanks.

For 3.7, it's too late to be moving stuff out of staging to the "real"
part of the kernel as 3.6 is about to be released.

Possibly, if everyone agrees with this, after 3.7 is out we can do this
for 3.8, ok?
For me, no problem.
I will send the patchset after listening akpm's opinion about zsmalloc's
location. Maybe nextweek.

Thanks, Greg.
thanks,
