This is a new version (0.6) of the kernel memory leak detector. See
the Documentation/kmemleak.txt file for a more detailed
description. The patches are downloadable from (the bundled patch or
the series):

What's new in this version:

- fixed SMP locking (hopefully the last)
- added support for padded objects (allocated pointer different from
  the object one)
- fixed two false positives caused by padding

To do:

- more testing
- test Ingo's suggestion on task stacks scanning
- NUMA support
- (support for ioremap tracking)
