Clarify that the requirement is "at least one of" - the error message could
potentially be read as both being required.
Yes, the line is over 80 chars. You can't get 79 chars of text and a #error
into 80 chars :)

Actually, if the reader interprets that both are required,
that's fine with me. Cleancache and frontswap were split
up for upstreaming purposes but, except in unusual circumstances,
should always be used together. That is difficult, of course,
if frontswap is not yet merged in your build tree, but after
frontswap is merged in Linus's tree, I might be inclined to
require both CONFIG_CLEANCACHE *and* CONFIG_FRONTSWAP in
the future Kconfig for zcache.
