[PATCH 4/6] VM: Annotate pagealloc

From: Steve VanDeBogart
Date: Fri Aug 29 2008 - 19:17:41 EST


Valgrind annotations for valgrind: memory is addressable once it's been
alloced, and unaddressable when it is freed again. Can't use malloc-like
and free-like because valgrind considers a malloc-like chunk indivisible.
