[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH] PowerPC/Cell: use vzalloc rather than vmalloc and memset in spu_alloc_lscsa_std

[Jesper Juhl]

Hi,

We can get rid of a memset in 
arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/lscsa_alloc.c::spu_alloc_lscsa_std() by 
using vzalloc() rather than vmalloc()+memset().

Completely untested patch below since I have no hardware nor tools to 
compile this.
