Subject: [PATCH 0/3] make zswap params changeable at runtime

This is a resend of the patch series.  It makes creation of the zpool and
compressor dynamic, so that they can be changed at runtime.  This makes
using/configuring zswap easier, as before this zswap had to be configured
at boot time, using boot params.

This uses a single list to track both the zpool and compressor together,
although Seth had mentioned an alternative which is to track the zpools
and compressors using separate lists.  In the most common case, only a
single zpool and single compressor, using one list is slightly simpler
than using two lists, and for the uncommon case of multiple zpools and/or
compressors, using one list is slightly less simple (and uses slightly
more memory, probably) than using two lists.

Dan Streetman (3):
  zpool: add zpool_has_pool()
  zswap: dynamic pool creation
  zswap: change zpool/compressor at runtime
