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.

23 With incompressible page, there is no memory saving to keep it
24 in memory. Instead, write it out to backing device.
25 For this feature, admin should set up backing device via
