Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH] checkpatch: Attempt to find unnecessary 'out of
 memory' messages

With a semantic patch that searches for the various calls and then a 
string containing the letters "emory", I get removals of the messages 
below.  Do any of these messages look useful?  For example, some are 
generated with specific functions, such as IRDA_ERROR or BT_ERR.  If none 
of the messages look useful, should just one big patch go to trivial, or 
should the patches go to the individual maintainers?
