Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ipc: allocations cleanup

Some ipc objects use the wrong allocation functions: small objects can use kmalloc(),
and vice versa, potentially large objects can use kmalloc().

I think it's better to handle these patches via cgroups@ to avoid merge conflicts
with my patches that include accounting for ipc objects.

Vasily Averin (2):
  ipc sem: use kvmalloc for sem_undo allocation
  ipc: use kmalloc for msg_queue and shmid_kernel
