It prints _a lot_ of info and spams the syslog. I lost crash info a 
few days ago due to that: by the time i inspected a crashed machine 
the tons of kmemleak output scrolled out the crash from the dmesg 
buffer.

This is not acceptable.

Instead it should perhaps print _at most_ a single line every few 
minutes, printing a summary about _how many_ leaked entries it 
suspects, and should offer a /debug/mm/kmemleak style of file where 
the entries can be read out from.

Ok?
