Yeah but that's far better than adding bunch of 'not a leak' annotations
around the kernel which is very impractical to maintain. I would like to
see your leak detector in the kernel so we can finally get rid of all
those per-subsystem magic allocators. This patch, however, is
unacceptable for inclusion IMHO.
