Built test_zswap before and after on next-20261103 and ran both on a 4G
VM, identical results, no change on 64-bit as claimed.
One small thing: could you add a Fixes tag? The issue seems to date
back to a549f9f31561a ("selftests: cgroup: add test_zswap with no kmem
bypass test"), which introduced the sysinfo block, and 6f615890b848
later reshaped it into the current GB(4) comparison with the warning.
