    Too bad, this isn’t happening as a kernel patch. Adding to that point:

    The key detail is that CRAM is a hardware implementation of compression, meaning the logic is in the memory controller rather than in software, so it’s not a pure software trick like ZRAM. However, it uses standard off-the-shelf DRAM and a normal memory bus, so no exotic modules or custom interfaces are required.
