8	  Creates virtual block devices called /dev/zramX (X = 0, 1, ...).
9	  Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored in memory
10	  itself. These disks allow very fast I/O and compression provides
11	  good amounts of memory savings.

13	  It has several use cases, for example: /tmp storage, use as swap
14	  disks and maybe many more.

62	 With incompressible page, there is no memory saving to keep it
63	 in memory. Instead, write it out to backing device.
64	 For this feature, admin should set up backing device via
65	 /sys/block/zramX/backing_dev.
66
67	 With /sys/block/zramX/{idle,writeback}, application could ask
68	 idle page's writeback to the backing device to save in memory.

86	  This will enable multi-compression streams, so that ZRAM can
87	  re-compress pages using a potentially slower but more effective
88	  compression algorithm. Note, that IDLE page recompression
89	  requires ZRAM_MEMORY_TRACKING.
