Subject: Re: [PATCH] checkpatch: Test for kmalloc/memset(0) pairs

Also, there seems to be one important thing missing from this thread.
Can we please apply my patch?

It may be months or years before we decide how to handle this checkpatch
vs Coccinelle and I think it is important that we flag this as a
warning/error.
