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.

suddenly my kernel is not warning free... i have still warning about acpi_init, cpufreg, intel_gem and inoitfy on my PC and about firmware loader on my laptop. So i think there is still some job to do. I will report this warnings soon.
