I didn't consider one would be triggered by the kzalloc failure.
Do you reconsider any special system settings for further
software evolution then?
Sorry, I don't quite understand your question.
Do you try to configure the Linux error reporting to any special needs?

I think your original patch is OK,
How does this feedback fit to the initial response “Not Applicable”?
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/798575/

and I would appreciate if you added a check for failure of ps3vram_cache_init()
in ps3vram_probe().
I unsure if this adjustment will need more software updates.

If you decide not to add that check I'll create a patch for it later.
I am curious on who will pick this update candidate up as the next improvement.
Have you got any preferences for the exception handling there?

Regards,
Markus
