The patch you sent for review used kmalloc/memset() combo but in your
SVN (the tag specified (20121204) and in trunk as well) it was already
converted to kcalloc().

However it looks like you could reduce kernel text by using kzalloc()
instead of kcalloc(1, ...) (everywhere you allocate just one entry).

This issue was described here: http://lwn.net/Articles/147014/.

Thanks,
Pawel
