Subject: [PATCH 4/6] staging: ramster: ramster-specific changes to zcache/tmem

RAMster implements peer-to-peer transcendent memory, allowing a "cluster"
of kernels to dynamically pool their RAM.

This patch incorporates changes transforming zcache to work with
a remote store.

In tmem.[ch], new "repatriate" (provoke async get) and "localify" (handle
incoming data resulting from an async get) routines combine with a handful
of changes to existing pamops interfaces allow the generic tmem code
to support asynchronous operations.  Also, a new tmem_xhandle struct
groups together key information that must be passed to remote tmem stores.

Zcache-main.c is augmented with a large amount of ramster-specific code
to handle remote operations and "foreign" pages on both ends of the
"remotify" protocol.  New "foreign" pools are auto-created on demand.
A "selfshrinker" thread periodically repatriates remote persistent pages
when local memory conditions allow.  For certain operations, a queue is
necessary to guarantee strict ordering as out-of-order puts/flushes can
cause strange race conditions.  Pampd pointers now either point to local
memory OR describe a remote page; to allow the same 64-bits to describe
either, the LSB is used to differentiate.  Some acrobatics must be performed
to ensure local memory is available to handle a remote persistent get,
or deal with the data directly anyway if the malloc failed.  Lots
of ramster-specific statistics are available via sysfs.

Note: Some debug ifdefs left in for now.

-	  Zcache doubles RAM efficiency while providing a significant
-	  performance boosts on many workloads.  Zcache uses lzo1x
-	  compression and an in-kernel implementation of transcendent
-	  memory to store clean page cache pages and swap in RAM,
-	  providing a noticeable reduction in disk I/O.
+	  RAMster allows RAM on other machines in a cluster to be utilized
+	  dynamically and symmetrically instead of swapping to a local swap
+	  disk, thus improving performance on memory-constrained workloads
+	  while minimizing total RAM across the cluster.  RAMster, like
+	  zcache, compresses swap pages into local RAM, but then remotifies
+	  the compressed pages to another node in the RAMster cluster.
