Subject: [PATCH RFC 2/2] example usage of swap notifiers in ramzswap
This patch is against a version of ramzswap which uses module sepcific hacks
to register a callback for swap slot free event and does not use any notifier.
It shows improvments in the ramzswap module (in terms of code flow) that
resulted from swap notifier support added in patch 1/2.
