Unrelated to the topic of the thread, but kmem(9) says:

SECURITY CONSIDERATION
     As the memory allocated by kmem_alloc() is uninitialized, it can
     contain security-sensitive data left by its previous user.  It is
     the caller's responsibility not to expose it to the world.

Shouldn't it be the responsibility of the security-sensitive subsystem
to clear the memory before it is freed, rather than the responsibility
of every kmem_alloc() caller?
