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?
