Transcendent memory ("tmem") is a clean API/ABI that provides
for an efficient address translation and a set of highly
concurrent access methods to copy data between a page-oriented
data source (e.g. cleancache or frontswap) and a page-addressable
memory ("PAM") data store. Of critical importance, the PAM data
store is of unknown (and possibly varying) size so any individual
access may succeed or fail as defined by the API/ABI.
Tmem exports a basic set of access methods (e.g. put, get,
flush, flush object, new pool, and destroy pool) which are
normally called from a "host" (e.g. zcache).
To be functional, two sets of "ops" must be registered by the
host, one to provide "host services" (memory allocation) and
one to provide page-addressable memory ("PAM") hooks.
Tmem supports one or more "clients", each which can provide
a set of "pools" to partition pages. Each pool contains
a set of "objects"; each object holds pointers to some number
of PAM page descriptors ("pampd"), indexed by an "index" number.
This triple <pool id, object id, index> is sometimes referred
to as a "handle". Tmem's primary function is to essentially
provide address translation of handles into pampds and move
data appropriately.
As an example, for cleancache, a pool maps to a filesystem,
an object maps to a file, and the index is the page offset
into the file. And in this patch, zcache is the host and
each PAM descriptor points to a compressed page of data.
Tmem supports two kinds of pages: "ephemeral" and "persistent".
Ephemeral pages may be asynchronously reclaimed "bottoms up"
so the data structures and concurrency model must allow for
this. For example, each pampd must retain sufficient information
to invalidate tmem's handle-to-pampd translation.
its containing object so that, on reclaim, all tmem data
structures can be made consistent.

This patch adds a new trigger that can be invoked by writing
the sysfs file: trigger_now. This approach can be valuable during
automated testing or in situations, where other trigger methods
are not applicable. For example no RTC or spare GPIOs.
Last but not least we can allow user space applications to produce triggers.

There are currently two implementations of the Samsung BIOS that controls the rfkill

implements the BIOS flavor with the SECLINUX signature, this patch implements talking
to the other BIOS with 'SwSmi@' signature. Both expose very similar functionality and
way of accessing the commands. The differences are mostly offsets, command identifiers
and some values.
This patch introduces a sabi_config structure that contains information on identifying

This patch eliminates duplicate code. The remove_block_head function
is a special case of remove_block which can be contained in remove_block
without confusion.
The portion of code in remove_block_head which was noted as "DEBUG ONLY"
is now mandatory. Doing this provides consistent management of the double
linked list of blocks under a freelist and makes this consolidation
of delete block code safe. The first and last blocks will have NULL
pointers in their previous and next page pointers respectively.
Additionally, any time a block is removed from a free list the next and
previous pointers will be set to NULL to avoid misuse outside xvmalloc.

zram: Return zero'd pages on new reads
Currently zram will do nothing to the page in the bvec when that page
has not been previously written. This allows random data to leak to
user space. That can be seen by doing the following:
## Load the module and create a 256Mb zram device called /dev/zram0
# modprobe zram
# echo $((256*1024*1024)) > /sys/class/block/zram0/disksize
## Initialize the device by writing zero to the first block
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/zram0 bs=512 count=1
## Read ~256Mb of memory into a file and hope for something interesting
# dd if=/dev/zram0 of=file
This patch will treat an unwritten page as a zero-filled page. If a
page is read before a write has occurred the data returned is all 0's.

zram/xvmalloc: free bit block insertion optimization
This change is in a conditional block which is entered only when there is
an existing data block on the freelist where the insert has taken place.
The new block is pushed onto the freelist stack and this conditional block
is updating links in the prior stack head to point to the new stack head.
After this conditional block the first-/second-level indices are updated
to indicate that there is a free block at this location.
This patch adds an immediate return from the conditional block to avoid
setting bits again to indicate a free block on this freelist. The bits
would already be set because there was an existing free block on this
freelist.

xvmalloc will not currently function with 64K pages. Newly allocated
