Hi,

First up, I see a lot of funny á characters in your text.

I think that this is not about kmemcheck, but kmemleak. kmemcheck is
for catching references to uninitialized memory while kmemleak is for
detecting memory leaks. kmemcheck only works on x86 so far (with an
ARM patch by Ye Janboe, but it is not in mainline). kmemleak, however,
was written on ARM.

I put Catalin Marinas (kmemleak author) on Cc.

Please correct me if I am wrong. Good luck.
