Hi,
We can improve kvm_vm_ioctl_get_dirty_log() slightly by using vzalloc()
rather than first allocating and then manually zero the memory with
memset(). Also, while I was looking at this I noticed that we assign
-ENOMEM to the 'r' variable twice even though none of the code inbetween
the two assignments can change 'r', so I removed the second assignment.
Patch has been compile tested only.
Please consider merging and please CC me on all replies as I'm not
subscribed to the kvm mailing list.
