Hi,

This new (pre)release finally has ability to discard memory associated
with freed swap slots. This is similar to what compcache patch
(patch_compcache_with_notify_support_2.6.26.diff) does but its less
aggressive.

* Changelog for 0.5pre3 vs 0.5pre4:

 - Support discarding pages for freed swap blocks (requires 2.6.28-git14).
   This feature will be disabled if compiled for older kernel.
 - Mark ramzswap as "solid-state" block device (requires 2.6.26-git14).
 - Fixed incorrect stats reporting in /proc/compcache (some
   new stats added too).

This will hopefully be last pre-0.5 release. compcache-0.5 release
will finally complete transition to new xvMalloc memory allocator
(from TLSF allocator).

Cheers,
Nitin
