Both zram and zcache use xvmalloc allocator. If xvmalloc
is compiled separately for both of them, we will get linker
error if they are both selected as "built-in". We can also
get linker error regarding missing xvmalloc symbols if zram
is not built.
So, we now compile xvmalloc separately and export its symbols
which are then used by both of zram and zcache.

[PATCH V2 3/3] drivers/staging: zcache: misc build/config
Makefiles and Kconfigs to build zcache in drivers/staging
There is a dependency on xvmalloc.* which in 2.6.37 resides
in drivers/staging/zram. Should this move or disappear,
some Makefile/Kconfig changes will be required.
