I think that applying 3/3 before 2/3 will be a simpler (and probably a better)
thing to do. We fitst extend zcomp interface and pass flags (without any
functional change) and then extend the flags and introduce vmalloc fallback.
So we don't have to add comments to lz4/lzo backend that are getting (re-)moved
in the very next commit.
I will send swapped 2 and 3 patches shortly (I didn't change commit
messages and SoBs). Please take a look.

__vmalloc() is still missing __GFP_HIGHMEM

ditto.
