Forgot to mention, I was also thinking about extending zsmalloc stats
file and providing values for each fullness group per class, as opposed
to current ALMOST_EMPTY and ALMOST_FULL stats, which don't tell much.

I can get rid of static const arrays and pass "begin / end" group IDs to
functions that iterate fullness lists and pick the first head page, but
I think that enum values will stay.
