ZCACHE is a boolean in the Kconfig. When selected, it
should require that CRYPTO be builtin (=y).
Currently, ZCACHE=y and CRYPTO=m is a valid configuration
when it should not be.
This patch changes the zcache Kconfig to enforce this
dependency.

zcache cannot currently be loaded as a module. However
the Kconfig allows it to be built as a module; something that
the user probably does not intend since the module is not
loadable.
This patch switches zcache from a tristate to a bool in the Kconfig

linux/vmalloc.h added to zsmalloc-main.c to resolve implicit
declaration errors.
X86 dependency added to zsmalloc and dependent drivers zcache and zram.
This X86 only requirement is not ideal. Working to find portable
functions for __flush_tlb_one and set_pte.

This patch allow zcache to use the crypto API for page compression.
It replaces the direct LZO compress/decompress calls with calls
into the crypto compression API. The compressor to be used is
specified in the kernel boot line with the zcache parameter like:
zcache=lzo or zcache=deflate. If the specified compressor can't
be loaded, zcache uses lzo as the default compressor.

[PATCH V2 3/3] drivers/staging: zcache: misc build/config
Makefiles and Kconfigs to build zcache in drivers/staging
There is a dependency on xvmalloc.* which in 2.6.37 resides
in drivers/staging/zram. Should this move or disappear,
some Makefile/Kconfig changes will be required.
