staging: introduce zsmalloc and upstream commits
Big thanx to Faux123

This is a merge of the following commits:

staging: zsmalloc: zsmalloc memory allocation library

This patch creates a new memory allocation library named
zsmalloc.

NOTE: zsmalloc currently depends on SPARSEMEM for the MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS
value needed to determine the format of the object handle. There may
be a better way to do this.  Feedback is welcome.

staging: fix powerpc linux-next break on zsmalloc

linux/vmalloc.h added to zsmalloc-main.c to resolve implicit
declaration errors.

X86 dependency added to zsmalloc and dependent drivers zcache and zram.

This X86 only requirement is not ideal.  Working to find portable
functions for __flush_tlb_one and set_pte.

staging: zsmalloc: move object/handle masking defines

This patch moves the definitions of _PFN_BITS, OBJ_INDEX_BITS
and OBJ_INDEX_MASK from zsmalloc-main.c to zsmalloc_int.h

They will be needed to determine ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE in the next
patch

staging: zsmalloc: add ZS_MAX_PAGES_PER_ZSPAGE

This patch moves where max_zspage_order is declared and
changes its meaning.  "Order" typically implies 2^order
of something; however, it is currently being used as the
"maximum number of single pages in a zspage".  To add clarity,
ZS_MAX_ZSPAGE_ORDER is now used to calculate ZS_MAX_PAGES_PER_ZSPAGE,
which is 2^ZS_MAX_ZSPAGE_ORDER and is the upper bound on the number
of pages in a zspage.

staging: zsmalloc: calculate MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS if not defined

staging: zsmalloc: change ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE

This patch ensures that the value of ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE, for the
PAGE_SIZE and MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS on the system, allows for all
possible object ids in the lowest storage class to be encoded
in the object handle.

staging: zsmalloc: rename zspage_order with zspage_pages

zspage_order defines how many pages are needed to make a zspage.
So _order_ is rather awkward naming. It already deceive Jonathan
- http://lwn.net/Articles/477067/
" For each size, the code calculates an optimum number of pages (up to 16)"

Let's change from _order_ to _pages_ and some function names.

staging: zsmalloc: zsmalloc: use unsigned long instead of void *
We should use unsigned long as handle instead of void * to avoid any
confusion. Without this, users may just treat zs_malloc return value as
a pointer and try to deference it.

This patch passed compile test(zram, zcache and ramster) and zram is
tested on qemu.

	- remove hval pointed out by Nitin
	- based on next-20120607
  * from v1

staging: zsmalloc: fix uninit'ed variable warning

This patch fixes an uninitialized variable warning in
alloc_zspage().  It also fixes the secondary issue of
prev_page leaving scope on each loop iteration.  The only
reason this ever worked was because prev_page was occupying
the same space on the stack on each iteration.

staging: zsmalloc: Finish conversion to a separate module

ZSMALLOC is tristate, but the code has no MODULE_LICENSE and since it
depends on GPL-only symbols it cannot be loaded as a module.  This in
turn breaks zram which now depends on it.  I assume it's meant to be
Dual BSD/GPL like the other z-stuff.

There is also no module_exit, which will make it impossible to unload.
Add the appropriate module_init and module_exit declarations suggested
by comments.

staging: zsmalloc: remove x86 dependency

This patch replaces the page table assisted object mapping
method, which has x86 dependencies, with a arch-independent
method that does a simple copy into a temporary per-cpu
buffer.

While a copy seems like it would be worse than mapping the pages,
tests demonstrate the copying is always faster and, in the case of
running inside a KVM guest, roughly 4x faster.

staging: zsmalloc: s/firstpage/page in new copy map funcs

firstpage already has precedent and meaning the first page
of a zspage.  In the case of the copy mapping functions,
it is the first of a pair of pages needing to be mapped.

This patch just renames the firstpage argument to "page" to
avoid confusion.
