Subject: [PATCH 0/8] net: ethernet: reduce calls to memset(,0)

This patch series removes calls to memset(,0) that are
redundant when used in conjunction with a zalloc call or
by simple zero-assignment of structs.

Robert Eshleman (8):
  net/mlx4: use kzalloc instead of kmalloc
  net/mlxsw: use pci_zalloc_consistent instead of pci_alloc_consistent
  tlan: use pci_zalloc instead of pci_alloc
  qed: remove unnecessary memsets
  at12: use pci_zalloc instead of pci_alloc
  netxen: remove unnecessary memset(,0) calls
  net: seeq: replace kmalloc / memset(,0) with kzalloc
  net: ethernet: ixp4xx_eth: remove memset(,0) with zalloc
