They are 64K and result in order-4 allocations, even with SLUB.

Therefore, just like we always have for the deflate buffers, use
vmalloc.

<title>zlib: slim down zlib_deflate() workspace when possible</title>

<id>urn:sha1:565d76cb7d5fd7cb010fd690602280a69ab116ef</id>
<content type='text'>
Instead of always creating a huge (268K) deflate_workspace with the
maximum compression parameters (windowBits=15, memLevel=8), allow the
caller to obtain a smaller workspace by specifying smaller parameter
values.

For example, when capturing oops and panic reports to a medium with
limited capacity, such as NVRAM, compression may be the only way to
capture the whole report.  In this case, a small workspace (24K works
fine) is a win, whether you allocate the workspace when you need it (i.e.,
during an oops or panic) or at boot time.

I've verified that this patch works with all accepted values of windowBits
(positive and negative), memLevel, and compression level.

Fix a bunch of warnings in PPP and related drivers. Mostly because
sparse doesn't like it when the the function is only marked private in
the forward declaration.

this transformation:

<title>[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5cbded585d129d0226cb48ac4202b253c781be26</id>
<content type='text'>
Run this:

	#!/bin/sh
	for f in $(grep -Erl "\([^\)]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do
	  echo "De-casting $f..."
	  perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?\([^\)]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f
	done

And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers
to non-pointers.

And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.
