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).
