RAM Got expensive. We need PEMEX Memory Doubler

I am working with @Atrate and others to make this possible:

Assigning then unassigning ZRAM devices in Qubes Devices widget causes system lockup

[How to file a helpful issue](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/issue-tracking/) #…## Qubes OS release 4.2.1 ### Brief summary AppVMs' zram devices show up in the Qubes Devices tray menu. Accidentally assigning them to an AppVM and then unassigning causes a lockup of most Qubes functionality (no new VMs can be launched, shut down, etc.). ### Steps to reproduce 1. Install `zram-generator` in a qube template (e.g. F39). 2. Configure `zram`, for example like this: ``` [zram0] zram-size = ram * 10 compression-algorithm = lz4 swap-priority = 200 fs-type = swap ``` (Note: I use `ram * 10` because zram-generator takes the amount of ram that it sees as the maximum at qube startup, this is usually around 800MB on my system, so it results in around 8GB of `zram` being created.) 3. Shut the template down, boot a qube from that template (may need to reboot QubesOS first) 4. Click on the Qubes Devices tray menu, assign a `zram` device (called `()` in the menu) to a qube (I tried the same qube itself). 5. Unassign that `zram` device. ### Expected behavior Zram devices shouldn't show up in the tray menu. If they do, it shouldn't break QubesOS to assign/unassign them. ### Actual behavior Qubes Devices tray stops functioning, can't boot any new domains, can't shut any domains down, can't open Qube Manager, probably many other things I haven't tried. Shutting the OS down also takes a lot longer because of having to wait on unit timeouts.
