[merged mm-stable] mm-kconfig-simplify-zswap-configuration.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: Kconfig: simplify zswap configuration
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-kconfig-simplify-zswap-configuration.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

------------------------------------------------------
From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>
Subject: mm: Kconfig: simplify zswap configuration

- CONFIG_ZRAM: Zram is a user-facing feature, whereas zsmalloc is
  not. Don't make the user chase down a technical dependency like
  that, just select it in automatically when zram is requested. The
  CONFIG_CRYPTO dependency is redundant due to more specific deps.

- CONFIG_ZPOOL: This is not a user-facing feature. Hide the symbol and
  have it selected in as needed.

- CONFIG_ZSWAP: Select CRYPTO instead of depend. Common pattern.

- Make the ZSWAP suboptions and their descriptions (compression,
  allocation backend) a bit more straight-forward for the user.
