Subject: [PATCH 1/2] staging: fix zcache building
zcache is only building tmem.c and not building zcache.c. To keep the
module name, zcache.c must be renamed if symbols from tmem.c are to
remain unexported.

Since a newer version of zcache.c is already in staging-next (and
hopefully soon in staging-for-linus for the 3.1 window), this
patch, which simply replaces the (older) zcache.c with identical
code with a different filename, would not apply cleanly. Could
you advise on the best way to ensure both the newer version
and the file rename are applied... perhaps the rename must be
done manually in your git tree(s)?
Though I'm not certain of the process steps, please consider the
rename, the one liner Makefile change for the rename, and the GPL
module license addition (in patch 2/2)...

Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
Will this fix get included in the 3.0.1 -stable release? (zcache is
'broken' (doesn't build) in Linux-3.0)
Btw, I noticed that there was another patch sent [1] to fix this issue
earlier, but the original author is not mentioned in the first patch of
this thread, which fixes the build failure (and the patches are almost
identical I think).
