The first two patches are simply preparation for the third, making it effectively trivial, even though it's the only one with a concrete change in behaviour.
The origins of this patchset are the discovery that unwind and kmemleak don't always cooperate well with each other - any allocation within an exit or devexit function causes kmemleak to look up symbols that aren't in any unwind table. This of course means that all WARN_ONs and BUGs will suffer the same fate.
It could certainly be said that with a typical system the linked list has grown too large to be practical as a container, and some improvements could be made in that direction in the future.
Cheers, Phil
