zRam module

Hi,
I wanted to give zram a try on my rPi and I found that it missing.
Is there a possibility to build one, and if yes where could I find the source?

If you look into it, it was moved to x86 only in the newer kernels.

Its easy to find on the net how to compile it however.

Thanks for answers.
I'm building kernel from git right now for my RTL8188CUS, so maybe I'll add zram also.
