staging: ramster: local compression + tmem
RAMster implements peer-to-peer transcendent memory, allowing a "cluster" of kernels to dynamically pool their RAM. This patch copies files from drivers/staging/zcache. RAMster compresses pages locally before transmitting them to another node, so we can leverage the zcache and tmem code directly. Note: there are no ramster-specific changes yet to these files. (Why copy? The ramster tmem.c/tmem.h changes are definitely shareable between zcache and ramster; the eventual destination for tmem.c is the linux lib directory. Ramster changes to zcache are more substantial and zcache is currently undergoing some significant unrelated changes (including a new allocator and breaking zcache-main.c into smaller files), so it seemed best to branch temporarily and merge later.)
