To Nitin
Now both zram/zcache uses zsmalloc so I think second place is under /lib than
/zram if we really want to put it out of /mm but my preference is still
under /mm. If akpm don't oppose, I will do.
(Let's not consider removal of zsmalloc in zcache at the moment because
it's just Dan's trial and it's not realized yet. It's very twisted problem
and I don't expect it will finish soon :( )

To akpm,

I would like to put zsmalloc under /mm because it uses a few field of struct
page freely. IIRC, you pointed out, too. What do you think about it?
If you don't want, I will put zsmalloc under /lib.

To Jens,

I would like to put zram under driver/blocks.
Can I get your Ack?
