I'm on Christoph's side here. I don't think it makes sense for any code
to ask to allocate zero bytes of memory and expect valid memory to be
returned.
Would a compromise be to return a pointer to some known invalid region?
This way the kmalloc(0) call would appear successful to the caller, but
any access to the memory would result in an exception.
I would think returning 1 as the address would work here, it's not NULL
but any access to that page should still oops..
