Currently a call to dma_pool_alloc() with a ___GFP_ZERO flag returns a non-zeroed memory region. This patchset adds support for the ___GFP_ZERO flag to dma_pool_alloc(), adds 2 wrapper functions for allocing zeroed memory from a pool, and provides a coccinelle script for finding & replacing instances of dma_pool_alloc() followed by memset(0) with a single dma_pool_zalloc() call.
