Tim: AnAkin is correct, it's disabled by default and must be called at
boot time.

You should also enable multiple kernel compression modules - lz4 is
beter for most swaploads than gzip (less CPU consumed)

Currrently only gzip is used:

CONFIG_KERNEL_GZIP=y  
# CONFIG_KERNEL_BZIP2 is not set
# CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA is not set
# CONFIG_KERNEL_XZ is not set
# CONFIG_KERNEL_LZO is not set
# CONFIG_KERNEL_LZ4 is not set

These should all be modularised.

Title:
  zswap is not enabled

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “linux” source package in Saucy:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Please enable ZSWAP in Saucy's kernel config.
  In runtime, module is not enabled by default so there no risk of regressions.

  ZSWAP finally merged in Linux 3.11.
  ZSWAP should replace previous solutions as ramzswap and zram and should provide a solution for SSD based or/and low RAM machines.
