Since a newer version of zcache.c is already in staging-next (and
hopefully soon in staging-for-linus for the 3.1 window), this
patch, which simply replaces the (older) zcache.c with identical
code with a different filename, would not apply cleanly.  Could
you advise on the best way to ensure both the newer version
and the file rename are applied... perhaps the rename must be
done manually in your git tree(s)?

Though I'm not certain of the process steps, please consider the
rename, the one liner Makefile change for the rename, and the GPL
module license addition (in patch 2/2)...

Thanks,
