This patch switches zcache and zram dependency to ZSMALLOC
rather than X86. There is no net change since ZSMALLOC
depends on X86, however, this prevent further changes to
these files as zsmalloc dependencies change.

ZCACHE is a boolean in the Kconfig. When selected, it
should require that CRYPTO be builtin (=y).
Currently, ZCACHE=y and CRYPTO=m is a valid configuration
when it should not be.
This patch changes the zcache Kconfig to enforce this
dependency.

zcache cannot currently be loaded as a module. However
the Kconfig allows it to be built as a module; something that
the user probably does not intend since the module is not
loadable.
This patch switches zcache from a tristate to a bool in the Kconfig

linux/vmalloc.h added to zsmalloc-main.c to resolve implicit
declaration errors.
X86 dependency added to zsmalloc and dependent drivers zcache and zram.
This X86 only requirement is not ideal. Working to find portable
functions for __flush_tlb_one and set_pte.

This patch allow zcache to use the crypto API for page compression.
It replaces the direct LZO compress/decompress calls with calls
into the crypto compression API. The compressor to be used is
specified in the kernel boot line with the zcache parameter like:
zcache=lzo or zcache=deflate. If the specified compressor can't
be loaded, zcache uses lzo as the default compressor.

[PATCH V2 3/3] drivers/staging: zcache: misc build/config
Makefiles and Kconfigs to build zcache in drivers/staging
There is a dependency on xvmalloc.* which in 2.6.37 resides
in drivers/staging/zram. Should this move or disappear,
some Makefile/Kconfig changes will be required.
