[Xen-devel] xzalloc() & Co?



While I seem to recall that this idea was rejected a couple of years back,
shouldn't we re-think and follow e.g. Linux in having zeroing variants of
xmalloc() & Co? That would not only reduce code size, but also eliminate
one source of potential bugs (see e.g. the thread starting at
http://marc.info/?l=kernel-janitors&m=131615631720174&w=2).
