<content type='text'>
alloc failures already get standardized OOM
messages and a dump_stack.

Convert kzalloc's with multiplies to kcalloc.
Convert kmalloc's with multiplies to kmalloc_array.
Remove now unused variables.
Remove unnecessary memset after kzalloc-&gt;kcalloc.
Whitespace cleanups for these changes.

perm_addr is initialized correctly in register_netdevice() so to init it in
drivers is no longer needed.

With flag 'GFP_ATOMIC', probability of allocation failure is more.
Add error handling after kmalloc() call to avoid null dereference.

<content type='text'>
alloc failures use dump_stack so emitting an additional
out-of-memory message is an unnecessary duplication.

Remove the allocation failure messages.

<title>module_param: make bool parameters really bool (net &amp; drivers/net)</title>

<content type='text'>
module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int.  In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.

It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option.  For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

(Thanks to Joe Perches for suggesting coccinelle for 0/1 -&gt; true/false).
