Yes this branch worked well - and there were no leaks  from i915 or
kvm modules for trace.

What is however interesting is the false positive leak for
dma_debug_init(). Which is sometimes listed and sometimes not - the
memory is allocated just once in the code during boot, so it's strange
that pointers to that area are sometimes out of kmemleak scan.
