 *
 * Concepts based on zcache internal zbud allocator by Dan Magenheimer.
 *
 * zbud is an special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages.  Contrary
 * to what its name may suggest, zbud is not a buddy allocator, but rather an
 * allocator that "buddies" two compressed pages together in a single memory
 * page.
 *
 * While this design limits storage density, it has simple and deterministic
 * reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher density approach when
 * reclaim will be used.
 *
 * zbud works by storing compressed pages, or "zpages", together in pairs in a
 * single memory page called a "zbud page".  The first buddy is "left
 * justified" at the beginning of the zbud page, and the last buddy is "right
 * justified" at the end of the zbud page.  The benefit is that if either
 * buddy is freed, the freed buddy space, coalesced with whatever slack space
 * that existed between the buddies, results in the largest possible free region
 * within the zbud page.
 *
 * zbud also provides an attractive lower bound on density. The ratio of zpages
 * to zbud pages can not be less than 1.  This ensures that zbud can never "do
 * harm" by using more pages to store zpages than the uncompressed zpages would
 * have used on their own.
 *
 * zbud pages are divided into "chunks".  The size of the chunks is fixed at
 * compile time and determined by NCHUNKS_ORDER below.  Dividing zbud pages
 * into chunks allows organizing unbuddied zbud pages into a manageable number
 * of unbuddied lists according to the number of free chunks available in the
 * zbud page.
 *
 * The zbud API differs from that of conventional allocators in that the
 * allocation function, zbud_alloc(), returns an opaque handle to the user,
 * not a dereferenceable pointer.  The user must map the handle using
 * zbud_map() in order to get a usable pointer by which to access the
 * allocation data and unmap the handle with zbud_unmap() when operations
 * on the allocation data are complete.

 *
 * zbud reclaim is different from normal system reclaim in that the reclaim is
 * done from the bottom, up.  This is because only the bottom layer, zbud, has
 * information on how the allocations are organized within each zbud page. This
 * has the potential to create interesting locking situations between zbud and
 * the user, however.
 *
 * To avoid these, this is how zbud_reclaim_page() should be called:

 * The user detects a page should be reclaimed and calls zbud_reclaim_page().
 * zbud_reclaim_page() will remove a zbud page from the pool LRU list and call
 * the user-defined eviction handler with the pool and handle as arguments.
 *
 * If the handle can not be evicted, the eviction handler should return
 * non-zero. zbud_reclaim_page() will add the zbud page back to the
 * appropriate list and try the next zbud page on the LRU up to
 * a user defined number of retries.
 *
 * If the handle is successfully evicted, the eviction handler should
 * return 0 _and_ should have called zbud_free() on the handle. zbud_free()
 * contains logic to delay freeing the page if the page is under reclaim,
 * as indicated by the setting of the PG_reclaim flag on the underlying page.
 *
 * If all buddies in the zbud page are successfully evicted, then the
 * zbud page can be freed.
 *
 * Returns: 0 if page is successfully freed, otherwise -EINVAL if there are
 * no pages to evict or an eviction handler is not registered, -EAGAIN if
