[PATCH 049/104] KVM: Use kmem_cache_free for kmem_cache_zalloc'ed objects

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Mon Sep 17 2007 - 04:42:22 EST


From: Rusty Russell <rusty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We use kfree in svm.c and vmx.c, and this works, but it could break at
any time. kfree() is supposed to match up with kmalloc().
