Start lot of apps so your system starts swapping. Once compcache is
enabled, these pages will be swapped to virtual block device named
/dev/ramzswap0 (see /proc/swaps and /proc/compcache).

Code itself contains very less documentation/comments. My bad.
Still, basic understanding of block device drivers should help you
understand the code.
