DMA API always zeros memory, I thought cocci warns about this
Did you run cocci checks?

I ran cocci check using the command "make -j8 
M=drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/ C=1 CHECK="scripts/coccicheck" 
CONFIG_IDPF=m &>>err.log" but didn't see any hits and not sure if this 
is the right command to see the warning. Will fix it anyways.

Ugh, disappointing, looks like people how were chasing these flags
throughout the tree couldn't be bothered to upstream the cocci check.
Or even document it, it seems? :| See 750afb08ca7131 as the initial
commit, FWIW, sorry to misdirect towards coccicheck.
