Re: git: kernel - migrate knote from zone to kmalloc

FWIW I switched to kmalloc instead of objcache because I could not see how
to (easily) pre-initialize the knotes and my recollection of past
discussions [1] is that kmalloc
 is okay for non-preinitialised objects.  This was mainly a drive-by
change while investigating
the USB mouse crash.  Apologies if this goes against pending patches.
Feel free to switch
to objcache.
