Hi Masahiro,
> Currently, kzalloc() returns zero-filled memory, while kmalloc()
> simply ignores the second argument and never fills the memory
> area with zeros.
>
> I want kmalloc(size, __GFP_ZERO) to behave as kzalloc() does,
> which will make it easier to add more memory allocator variants.
>
> With the introduction of __GFP_ZERO flag, going forward, kzmalloc()
> variants can fall back to kmalloc() enabling the __GFP_ZERO flag.
