Should you want to allocate from the heap, try this:

item->do_something_else();

I love C++, but you have to stop it now. Imagine how many auto_ptr<Foo> will
you use inside your kernel. The compiler will need to create a separete class
for each. Using templates in the kernel will be plain silly.
auto_ptr<>'s are fully inlined so their impact is nil.
(And actually I dislike C++, it only looks good next to C)

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
