mainlining shenanigans

The only interesting difference between libcfs_kvzalloc() and kvzalloc() is that the former appears to work with GFP_NOFS, which the latter gives a WARN_ON_ONCE() when that is attempted. Each libcfs_kvzalloc() should really be analysed and either converted to a kzalloc() call if the size is never more than a page, or to use GFP_KERNEL if no locks are held. If there is ever a case where locks are held and a large allocation is needed, then some other technique should be used. It might be nice to not always blindly zero pages too... For now, just convert libcfs_kvzalloc() calls to kvzalloc(), and let the warning remind us that there is work to do.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
