Hmm, did you check kernel text size before and after this change?
Setting the __GFP_ZERO flag at every kzalloc call-site seems like a
bad idea.

Aah but most call-sites, of course, use constants such as GFP_KERNEL
only which should be folded nicely by the compiler. So this probably
doesn't have much impact. Would be nice if you'd check, though.
