Re: [PATCH] slab: introduce kmem_cache_zalloc allocator

This patch introduces a memory-zeroing variant of kmem_cache_alloc. The
allocator already exits in XFS and there are potential users for it so
this patch makes the allocator available for the general public.

Excellent.

Please change zalloc() so that a zalloc(constant_value) uses your kmem_cache_zalloc on the appropriate cache.

This way we can really introduce zalloc() *everywhere* without paying the cost of runtime lookup to find the right cache.
