[PATCH 02/21] ppc/eeh: use slab to allocate eeh devices

From: Gavin Shan <hidden>
Date: 2012-09-05 06:15:27
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), pci enhanced error handling (eeh) for powerpc, the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Mahesh J Salgaonkar, Linus Torvalds

The EEH initialization functions have been postponed until slab/slub
are ready. So we use slab/slub to allocate the memory chunks for
newly creatd EEH devices. That would save lots of memory.

The patch also does cleanup to replace "kmalloc" with "kzalloc" so
that we needn't clear the allocated memory chunk explicitly.
