Fair enough. Just put it in a seperate file,
add a Kconfig "TEST_MEMLEAK_DETECTOR" tristate option,
depending on "DEBUG_MEMLEAK" and adjust the Makefile accordingly.

I'll do this since the patch needs a lot more testing to show that it
can actually find real bugs and also determine its limitations. I
posted this first version to see what people think about it but it is
far from the final version.
