+/// This semantic patch looks for kmalloc etc that are not followed by a
+/// NULL check.  It only gives a report in the case where there is some
+/// error handling code later in the function, which may be helpful
+/// in determining what the error handling code for the call to kmalloc etc
+/// should be.
