There's still a lot to do so I hope we can work together.
I'm not convinced it's the _fastest way_. You're effectively invalidating all the work done under drivers/staging so you might end up in review limbo with your shiny new code...
AFAICT, your best bet is to first clean up zcache under driver/staging and get that promoted under mm/zcache.c. You can then move on to the more controversial ramster and figure out where to put the clustering code, etc.
