Hi!

I love this patch, and I think it can nicely combine with Alexander's
init_on_alloc/free series[1].

One thing I'd like to see changed is that the DONTWIPE call should
wipe the memory. That way, there is no need to "trust" child behavior.
The only way out of the WIPE flag is that the memory gets wiped.
