Conflicts: mm/Kconfig CMA DMA split and ZSWAP introduction were conflicting, fix up manually.

+ A special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages.
+ It is designed to store up to two compressed pages per physical
+ page. While this design limits storage density, it has simple and
+ deterministic reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher
+ density approach when reclaim will be used.

+ default n
+ help
+ A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes
+ pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to
+ compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
+ This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and,
+ in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster that swap device
+ reads, can also improve workload performance.
+
+ This is marked experimental because it is a new feature (as of
+ v3.11) that interacts heavily with memory reclaim. While these
+ interactions don't cause any known issues on simple memory setups,
+ they have not be fully explored on the large set of potential
+ configurations and workloads that exist.

+ help
+ This option enables memory changes tracking by introducing a
+ soft-dirty bit on pte-s. This bit it set when someone writes
+ into a page just as regular dirty bit, but unlike the latter
+ it can be cleared by hands.
+
+ See Documentation/vm/soft-dirty.txt for more details.
