    zram: Compressed RAM based block devices
    ----------------------------------------
    The zram module creates RAM based block devices named /dev/zram<id>
    (<id> = 0, 1, ...). Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored
    in memory itself. These disks allow very fast I/O and compression provides
    good amounts of memory savings. Some of the usecases include /tmp storage,
    use as swap disks, various caches under /var and maybe many more :)
    
    Statistics for individual zram devices are exported through sysfs nodes at
    /sys/block/zram<id>/
    
    This patch is to validate the zram functionality. Test interacts with block
    device /dev/zram<id> and sysfs nodes /sys/block/zram<id>/
    
    zram.sh: sanity check of CONFIG_ZRAM and to run zram01 and zram02 tests
    zram01.sh: creates general purpose ram disks with different filesystems
    zram02.sh: creates block device for swap
    zram_lib.sh: create library with initialization/cleanup functions
    README: ZRAM introduction and Kconfig required.
    Makefile: To run zram tests
