I thought deprecating z3fold is the low hanging fruit. Then, once we can sort out the MMU dependency in zsmalloc, we can go after zbud as well.Makes sense to me. Should we do the same thing to zbud? We probably have even less of a case for it, no?
Is there any user visible effect of switching the allocator? If not it seems a bit pointless to deprecate them vs just removing them (or maybe making z3fold depend on !MMU for now).
