[2/2] checkpatch: Add a couple new alloc functions to alloc with multiplies check
Commit Message
vmalloc() and vzalloc() functions have now 2-factor multiplication
argument forms vmalloc_array() and vcalloc(), correspondingly.
Add alloc-with-multiplies checks for these new functions.
Simplify the original codes repeated else to use a hash.

Why don't you wait for a response or a v2 from the original
submitter?

Because there really is no need to wait.

By the way, did you test it?

Yes, against arch/s390/include/asm/idals.h
Did you? If so, you could also add your own tested-by...

I don't see any instances of vmalloc() or vzalloc() in that file.

<snort> Cute.
Missing a ? in the original search '\s*,?'
or just its removal...
Likely the removal would be better.
thanks, cheers, Joe
