Uh...

This is a rebasing error :\

A later patch revises it to be:

	for (memblock = pbundle->allocated_mem; memblock;) {
		struct bundle_alloc_head *tmp = memblock;

		memblock = memblock->next;
		kvfree(tmp);
	}

Which was supposed to be in this patch.

Since it is applied but not yet for-next, I will revise the placement
of the hunks..
