Wait, no, this isn't ok.  Don't create wrapper functions that you never
use except as a wrapper :(

I can see someone sending me almost the indental revert patch right
after this one gets applied...

The 2nd patch in the series changes this function to be more then
just a wrapper around kfree. As mentioned in the commit message
this is a preparation patch for that 2nd patch, the idea is that
by splitting out the patch replacing all the kfree() calls with
vbg_req_free() calls the 2nd patch becomes easier to review.

Regards,

Hans
