Cover letter [PATCH V2 0/4] use kvmalloc()/kvfree() the second part, about RCU

Hi, all

I have sent patch for introducing kvmalloc()/kvfree().
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/17/137

and 6 patches for using kvmalloc()/kvfree() (these patches need to be fixed)

fdtable and sysipc uses vfree() in the RCU callback. Now, these patches cleanup for them.

any comments are welcome.

Thanx, Lai.
