Allow specifying numdevices during kernel config and as boot parameter and add the discard patch to the kernel

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello ,

About 2 month ago , you've said (on issue 87) that you will be sending "zram 
patch with numdevices as kernel config option and the discard support" for 
mainline inclusion soon.

Since you have put to fixed  issue '87' and '89' , i have seek  on kernel 3.1 
this patch and i don't have seen either a commit or an option on the linux 
kernel.

thats why i would like to know if you can  send this patch for inclusion in the 
mainline since  that don't exist on mainline kernel 3.1 rc2 .

please 'fix' this issue only once the patch have been included in mainline 
kernel and  not before because it misleading.

thanks

Hello ,

About 2 month ago , you've submitted the patch for"zram patch with numdevices 
as kernel config option and the discard support" to lkml for review for 
mainline inclusion soon.

I have seek  on kernel 3.1 this patch and i don't have seen either a commit or 
an option on the linux kernel.

the only commit was on 09/09/11: 
->zram: Fix sparse warnings

fyi,since  the prelude for inclusion aka :
->staging: zram: make global var "num_devices" use unique name
was accepted .

Can you submit (or revive) the patch  for 
"zram patch with numdevices as kernel config option and the discard support".

i know that due to hacking of kernel.org there have been some delay and that is 
normal.

But now that the kernel 3.1 is released ,please send this patch again.

thanks
