RAMster does many zcache-like things. In order to avoid major
merge conflicts at 3.4, ramster used lzo1x directly for compression
and retained a local copy of xvmalloc, while zcache moved to the
new zsmalloc allocator and the crypto API.
This patch moves ramster forward to use zsmalloc and crypto.

Building ramster without NET would cause linkage issue due to missing

The just-merged ramster staging driver was dependent on a cleanup patch in
cleancache, so was marked CONFIG_BROKEN until that patch could be
merged. That cleancache patch is now merged (and the correct SHA of the
cleancache patch is 3167760f83 rather than
the one shown in the comment removed in the patch below).
So remove the CONFIG_BROKEN now and the comment that is no longer true...

Ramster can't be a module (yet) and depends on CONFIGFS_FS=y, but
allmodconfig builds with CONFIGFS_FS=m, which breaks the build.
And forcing CONFIGFS_FS=y with select breaks the build in other ways.
So just don't build ramster unless CONFIGFS_FS=y.
Also, while we're here, add a comment as to why BROKEN is depended.

It can't seem to build properly, so let's just mark it broken until
stuff sorts itself out.

RAMster implements peer-to-peer transcendent memory, allowing a "cluster"
of kernels to dynamically pool their RAM.
This patch incorporates changes transforming zcache to work with
a remote store.
In tmem.[ch], new "repatriate" (provoke async get) and "localify" (handle
incoming data resulting from an async get) routines combine with a handful
of changes to existing pamops interfaces allow the generic tmem code
to support asynchronous operations. Also, a new tmem_xhandle struct
groups together key information that must be passed to remote tmem stores.
Zcache-main.c is augmented with a large amount of ramster-specific code
to handle remote operations and "foreign" pages on both ends of the
"remotify" protocol. New "foreign" pools are auto-created on demand.
A "selfshrinker" thread periodically repatriates remote persistent pages
when local memory conditions allow. For certain operations, a queue is
necessary to guarantee strict ordering as out-of-order puts/flushes can
cause strange race conditions. Pampd pointers now either point to local
memory OR describe a remote page; to allow the same 64-bits to describe
either, the LSB is used to differentiate. Some acrobatics must be performed
to ensure local memory is available to handle a remote persistent get,
or deal with the data directly anyway if the malloc failed. Lots
of ramster-specific statistics are available via sysfs.
Note: Some debug ifdefs left in for now.

RAMster implements peer-to-peer transcendent memory, allowing a "cluster"
of kernels to dynamically pool their RAM.
This patch copies files from drivers/staging/zcache. RAMster compresses
pages locally before transmitting them to another node, so we can
leverage the zcache and tmem code directly. Note: there are
no ramster-specific changes yet to these files.
(Why copy? The ramster tmem.c/tmem.h changes are definitely shareable
between zcache and ramster; the eventual destination for tmem.c
is the linux lib directory. Ramster changes to zcache are more substantial
and zcache is currently undergoing some significant unrelated changes
(including a new allocator and breaking zcache-main.c into smaller files),
so it seemed best to branch temporarily and merge later.)
