Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] drivers: add memory management driver class

This patchset creates a new driver class under drivers/ for
memory management related drivers, like zcache.

This driver class would be for drivers that don't actually enabled
a hardware device, but rather augment the memory manager in some
way.

In-tree candidates for this driver class are zcache, zram, and
lowmemorykiller, both in staging.
