no objections from my side.

a side note - may be we don't need this comment at all.
the code looks like this:

/*
* A zspage's class index and fullness group
* are stored in struct zspage.
*/
#define FULLNESS_BITS 2
#define CLASS_BITS 8
#define ISOLATED_BITS 3
#define MAGIC_VAL_BITS 8

struct zspage {
struct {
unsigned int fullness:FULLNESS_BITS;
unsigned int class:CLASS_BITS;
unsigned int isolated:ISOLATED_BITS;
unsigned int magic:MAGIC_VAL_BITS;
};
unsigned int inuse;
unsigned int freeobj;
struct page *first_page;
struct list_head list; /* fullness list */
#ifdef CONFIG_COMPACTION
rwlock_t lock;
#endif
};


so, basically, the comment just "repeats" the next 5 lines.
but, like I said, that's just a side note.
