I tested this on an AlphaServer ES40 with CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK=y.
The kernel built and booted successfully, and a manual kmemleak scan
completed normally.

The scan reported three suspected allocations from the sym53c8xx_2
driver. These appear unrelated to this patch and may be false
positives caused by references stored in DMA-coherent memory.
Either way, the patch looks good to me.
