[RFC PATCH 3/3] kmemleak: Remove alloc_bootmem annotations introducedin the past

From: Catalin Marinas
Date: Mon Jul 06 2009 - 06:52:50 EST


kmemleak_alloc() calls were added in some places where alloc_bootmem was
called. Since now kmemleak tracks bootmem allocations, these explicit
calls should be run.
