[PATCH 2.6.20-rc3] S390: kmalloc->kzalloc/casting cleanups

From: Ahmed S. Darwish
Date: Sat Jan 06 2007 - 08:18:53 EST


[Please inform me if you are not the maintaner]

A patch for the CTC / ESCON network driver. Switch from kmalloc to kzalloc
when appropriate, remove some unnecessary kmalloc casts too.
Since I have no s390 machine, I didn't compile it but I examined it carefully.
