Subject[PATCH 1/6] compcache: compressed RAM block device
Date
This creates RAM based block device (called ramzswap0) which is used as swap disk.

On write (swap-out):
 - compress page (using LZO)
 - Allocate required amount of memory (using TLSF)
 - Store reference to its location in simple array.

On read (swap-in):
 - Get compressed page location from array
 - Decompress this page.

It also makes required Makefile changes.
