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.

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.

New files for ramster support: The file ramster.h declares externs
and some pampd bitfield manipulation. The file zcache.h declares
some zcache functions that now must be accessed from the ramster
glue code. The file ramster_o2net.c is the glue between
zcache and the o2net messaging code, providing routines called
from zcache that initiate messages, and routines that handle
messages by calling zcache. TODO explains future plans for merging.

In tmem.[ch], new "repatriate" (provoke async get) and "localify" (handle
incoming data resulting from an async get) routines combine with a handful
of changes to existing pamops interfaces allow the generic tmem code
to support asynchronous operations. Also, a new tmem_xhandle struct
groups together key information that must be passed to remote tmem stores.
Zcache-main.c is augmented with a large amount of ramster-specific code
to handle remote operations and "foreign" pages on both ends of the
"remotify" protocol. New "foreign" pools are auto-created on demand.
A "selfshrinker" thread periodically repatriates remote persistent pages
when local memory conditions allow. For certain operations, a queue is
necessary to guarantee strict ordering as out-of-order puts/flushes can
cause strange race conditions. Pampd pointers now either point to local
memory OR describe a remote page; to allow the same 64-bits to describe
either, the LSB is used to differentiate. Some acrobatics must be performed
to ensure local memory is available to handle a remote persistent get,
or deal with the data directly anyway if the malloc failed. Lots
of ramster-specific statistics are available via sysfs.
Note: Some debug ifdefs left in for now.

Ramster-specific changes to ocfs2 cluster foundation, including:
A method for fooling the o2 heartbeat into starting without
an ocfs2 filesystem; a new message mechanism ("data magic") for handling
a reply to a message requesting data; a hack for keeping the cluster
alive even after timeouts so cluster machines can be rebooted separately.
