Hello

After reading:
http://www.chromestory.com/2013/03/google-enabling-zram-for-chrome-os-by-default/
http://lwn.net/Articles/545244/

I was wondering what would be the best way to use zram on a setup
running systemd. This is because I have found a lot of scripts, unit
files... but I don't know what is the best approach (at least from an
"upstream point of view"):

I found this thread:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-November/007444.html

In that one Lennart suggest that maybe some action from util-linux
maintainers could help but, after that message, I don't see anything
newer (maybe we could report that suggestion to util-linux maintainers
to other place... or maybe a better solution was found later :/)

Thanks a lot for your help and suggestions
