    Yeah, that's what I assumed would happen here. When the code in -staging
    is "good enough", Nitin would submit squashed patches for inclusion
    review and when everyone is happy, we'd merge the code including full
    history from -staging.

    Btw, ramzswap and zram have been discussed openly on LKML. I guess Nitin
    should have CC'd linux-mm as well for you to see it Andrew?
