Last quasi-random question of the night: would reviving the kmemcheck ARM port (that IIRC was hacked up a while back) be something useful, or is it something that is too niche to be worth it? At the board's request, I was looking across platform gaps and this feature was one of the things that I found.
I can't find any ARM port for this. And this is not exactly trivial to make this work on ARM either (even though this would be an interesting challenge).
The prerequisite for kmemcheck on ARM would be to have the kernel direct mapping of memory use second level page tables, which might possibly be useful to the multimedia memory allocator work too.
