Minchan Kim 2e3b615471 staging: zsmalloc: rename zspage_order with zspage_pages
zspage_order defines how many pages are needed to make a zspage.
So _order_ is rather awkward naming. It already deceive Jonathan
- http://lwn.net/Articles/477067/
" For each size, the code calculates an optimum number of pages (up to 16)"

Let's change from _order_ to _pages_ and some function names.

Seth Jennings b9ed4f6c9a staging: zsmalloc: change ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE
This patch ensures that the value of ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE, for the
PAGE_SIZE and MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS on the system, allows for all
possible object ids in the lowest storage class to be encoded
in the object handle.

Seth Jennings 6e00ec00b1 staging: zsmalloc: calculate MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS if not defined
This patch provides a way to determine or "set a
reasonable value for" MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS in the case that
it is not defined (i.e. !SPARSEMEM)

Seth Jennings 84d4faaba2 staging: zsmalloc: add ZS_MAX_PAGES_PER_ZSPAGE
This patch moves where max_zspage_order is declared and
changes its meaning.  "Order" typically implies 2^order
of something; however, it is currently being used as the
"maximum number of single pages in a zspage".  To add clarity,
ZS_MAX_ZSPAGE_ORDER is now used to calculate ZS_MAX_PAGES_PER_ZSPAGE,
which is 2^ZS_MAX_ZSPAGE_ORDER and is the upper bound on the number
of pages in a zspage.

Seth Jennings aafefe932a staging: zsmalloc: move object/handle masking defines
This patch moves the definitions of _PFN_BITS, OBJ_INDEX_BITS
and OBJ_INDEX_MASK from zsmalloc-main.c to zsmalloc_int.h

They will be needed to determine ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE in the next
patch

Nitin Gupta 61989a80fb staging: zsmalloc: zsmalloc memory allocation library
This patch creates a new memory allocation library named
zsmalloc.

NOTE: zsmalloc currently depends on SPARSEMEM for the MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS
value needed to determine the format of the object handle. There may
be a better way to do this.  Feedback is welcome.
