Subject: [RFC PATCH] Fixes and cleanups to the tmem driver. (v1)

These patches are RFC - I hadn't yet completly tested them. But they
fix the annoying:
 drivers/xen/tmem.c:365:13: warning: 'disable_frontswap_selfshrinking' defined but not used [-Wunused-variable]

(patch #4: [PATCH 4/8] xen/tmem: Fix compile warning. does it).

The rest are cleanups and removes some of the #ifdef machinary.

I hadn't yet the full testing and I am sure I am missing some
other documentation I should update.

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk (8):
      xen/tmem: Cleanup. Remove the parts that say temporary.
      xen/tmem: Move all of the boot and module parameters to the top of the file.
      xen/tmem: Split out the different module/boot options.
      xen/tmem: Fix compile warning.
      xen/tmem: s/disable_// and change the logic.
      xen/tmem: Remove the boot options and fold them in the tmem.X parameters.
      xen/tmem: Remove the usage of 'noselfshrink' and use 'tmem.selfshrink' bool instead.
      xen/tmem: Remove the usage of 'noselfballoon','selfballoon' and use 'tmem.selfballon' bool instead.
