Your comments are still valid and appreciated.

I did add a description to the patch:
--------------------------------
radix tree test suite: Add kmem_cache enhancements and pr_err

Add kmem_cache_set_non_kernel(), a mechanism to allow a certain number
of kmem_cache_alloc requests to succeed even when GFP_KERNEL is not set
in the flags.

Add kmem_cache_get_alloc() to see the size of the allocated kmem_cache.

Add a define of pr_err to printk.
--------------------------------

I did group these two changes together as they were both affecting
kmem_cache. I will reorganize them into separate commits.

This is intended to only be used for testing with one kmem_cache, so it
hasn't been an issue. Having this variable exist external to the
kmem_cache struct allows for checking if any allocations remain outside
the scope of the kmem_cache (ie: threads). I think putting it in the
struct would cause issues with the IDR testing. I could make this a new
variable and increment them together but this variable existed for the
IDR testing and I didn't need to support that additional functionality
for my testing. I should at least add a comment about this limitation
though.
