Hmm, I think supporting xbzrle + multifd might be worthwhile as an
alternative to xbzrle + compress.
I don't use it, but it should be easy to do by just letting xbzlre try
to handle the page before multifd. 
There shouldn't be any incompatibilities other than that, as long as
xbzlre sees the pages before multifd and the zero-page case is still
handled the old way.
