Both the max1363 and lis3l02dq modules rely on IIO trigger support in
their ring buffer implementations, which is presently a separate config

with the following:

Creates RAM based block devices (/dev/ramzswapX) which can be
used (only) as swap disks. Pages swapped to these are compressed
and stored in memory itself.
The module is called ramzswap.ko. It depends on:
- xvmalloc memory allocator (compiled with this driver)
- lzo_compress.ko
- lzo_decompress.ko
* Features:
- Low metadata overhead (just 4 bytes per object)
- O(1) Alloc/Free - except when we have to call system page allocator to
get additional memory.
- Very low fragmentation: In all tests, xvmalloc memory usage is within 12%
of "Ideal".
- Pool based allocator: Each pool can grow and shrink.
- It maps pages only when required. So, it does not hog vmalloc area which
is very small on 32-bit systems.
SLUB allocator could not be used due to fragmentation issues:
http://code.google.com/p/compcache/wiki/AllocatorsComparison
Data here shows kmalloc using ~43% more memory than TLSF and xvMalloc
is showed ~2% more space efficiency than TLSF (due to smaller metadata).
Creating various kmem_caches can reduce space efficiency gap but still
problem of being limited to low memory exists. Also, it depends on
allocating higher order pages to reduce fragmentation - this is not
acceptable for ramzswap as it is used under memory crunch (its a swap
device!).
SLOB allocator could not be used do to reasons mentioned here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/18/210
* Implementation:
It uses two-level bitmap search to find free list containing block of
correct size. This idea is taken from TLSF (Two-Level Segregate Fit)
allocator and is well explained in its paper (see [Links] below).
* Limitations:
- Poor scalability: No per-cpu data structures (work in progress).
