I mean, yes, there are ZS_ALIGN requirements that I completely ignored,
thanks for pointing that out.
just saying, not insisting on anything, theoretically, trading 32 bit size
objects in exchange of reducing a much bigger memory wastage is sort of
interesting. zram stores objects bigger than 3072 as huge objects, leaving
4096-3072 bytes unused, and it'll take 4096-3072/32 = 4000 32 bit objects
to beat that single 'bad' compression object in storing inefficiency...
well, patches 0001/0002 are trying to address this a bit, but the biggest
problem is still there: we have too many ->huge classes and they are a bit
far from good.
