Subject:  [RFC][PATCH] ALSA: Remove subsystem-specific malloc (0/8)
Date:  Wed, 9 Jun 2004 00:24:53 +0300

This patch introduces a kcalloc() and replaces ALSA magic allocator
snd_kcalloc() and snd_magic_kcalloc() with it.  I also fixed a memory
leak in the arm sa11xx driver and added a BUG() in seq_oss_synth to
catch failing allocations.

I kept the snd_magic_cast macro in place just in case someone wants to
add a generic type checking facility in the kernel and convert the users
to use it.

The patch is against 2.6.6 and was compile-tested with allyesconfig.
