7	  Creates virtual block devices called /dev/zramX (X = 0, 1, ...).
8	  Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored in memory

10	  good amounts of memory savings.

12	  It has several use cases, for example: /tmp storage, use as swap
13	  disks and maybe many more.

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