Use kzalloc rather than the combination of kmalloc and memset.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

-x = kmalloc(size,flags);
+x = kzalloc(size,flags);

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

There is not enough users to warrant its existence, and it is actually
an obstacle to progress with the new DMA API which cannot cover this
case properly.
To keep backward compatibility, let's perform the necessary custom
cache maintenance locally in the only driver affected.

The commit:
platform driver: fix incorrect use of 'platform_bus_type' with 'struct device_driver'
contains this:
-static int __exit pxa2xx_flash_remove(struct device *dev)
+static int __exit pxa2xx_flash_remove(struct platform_device *dev)
...
- .remove = __exit_p(pxa2xx_flash_remove),
+ .remove = __devexit_p(pxa2xx_flash_remove),
which leads to the following build error:
`pxa2xx_flash_remove' referenced in section `.data' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/built-in.o
This is not the only instance of it in this patch - all __exit_p's
touched by this patch have been converted to __devexit_p's without
regard to the original function.
Let's revert this change and, if we are going to convert functions
to be __devexit/__devinit, lets have that as a _separate_ patch doing
just that change.

This patch fixes the bug reported in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11681.
"Lots of device drivers register a 'struct device_driver' with
the '.bus' member set to '&platform_bus_type'. This is wrong,
since the platform_bus functions expect the 'struct device_driver'
to be wrapped up in a 'struct platform_driver' which provides
some additional callbacks (like suspend_late, resume_early).
The effect may be that platform_suspend_late() uses bogus data
outside the device_driver struct as a pointer pointer to the
device driver's suspend_late() function or other hard to
reproduce failures."(Lothar Wassmann)

Remove includes of asm/hardware.h in addition to asm/arch/hardware.h.
Then, since asm/hardware.h only exists to include asm/arch/hardware.h,
update everything to directly include asm/arch/hardware.h and remove
asm/hardware.h.

Commit 90833fdab8 ("[ARM] 4554/1: replace
consistent_sync() with flush_ioremap_region()") introduced a new
"flush_ioremap_region()" function to be used by the MTD mainstone-flash
and lubbock-flash drivers to fix a regression from around 2.6.18.
Those drivers were independently merged into a single driver by Todd
Poynor in commit e644f7d628 ("[MTD] MAPS:
Merge Lubbock and Mainstone drivers into common PXA2xx driver")
Later, those two commits were merged into the main MTD tree by commit
b160292cc2 ("Merge Linux 2.6.23") by David
Woodhouse, but in that merge, the fix to use flush_iomap_region() got
lost (as it was to files that now no longer existed).
This reinstates the fix in the new driver.
