Oh my, I am totally confused now.
First you fix kmalloc(0) to be legal and safe. And then you want to
DEVEL_WARN_ON_ONCE when size is zero so people can fix their code?
I don't get it.
I thought we wanted to support kmalloc(0) so that as long as you don't
dereference the pointer, it's all legal and good. Right? So we obviously
should shut up the WARN_ON because if you do oops, you can clearly see
that it happened at ZERO_SIZE_PTR and have a nice stack trace anyway...
Btw, if I am again missing something totally obvious, could you please
be so kind to send me a batch of the same pills that the smart people
take. I am all out.
