nice. Any leftovers that might be false positives and need
annotation?

We learned this with lockdep: the moment a typical x86 distro bootup
is 'warnings free', utility of the debugging facility increases
dramatically: people can standardize on 'kmemleak should never
produce warnings' workflows and distros can also start feeding
kmemleak reports into kerneloops.org or so.

So the general direction kmemleak is moving into is really
encouraging.
