I got the impression that this SmPL code needs another correction also
according to the proposed SmPL disjunction.

+-to = \( kmalloc \| kzalloc \) (size, \( GFP_KERNEL \| GFP_USER \) \( | __GFP_NOWARN \| \) );


Would you like to express by any other approach that a specific flag
is an optional source code transformation parameter?
