BTW, util-linux v2.26 (f22) is going to contain new command zramctl(8)

$ zramctl --help

Usage:
  lt-zramctl [options] <device>
  lt-zramctl -r <device> [...]
  lt-zramctl [options] -f | <device> -s <size>

Options:
  -a, --algorithm lzo|lz4   compression algorithm to use

can this work with HW accelerated compressors like the one in IBM Power
CPUs? See eg.
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/W51a7ffcf4dfd_4b40_9d82_446ebc23c550/page/Build%20F17%20with%20Memory%20Compression

Not sure, but it seems that zram currently supports only lzo and lz4
compression backends and boths are pure SW solutions. It does not use
IMB nx-compression (kernel ./drivers/crypto/nx/nx-842.c)

any chance to see util-linux v2.26 in F21?
