Hamish,
Linux's kobject used a kzalloc and if I understand everything correctly, it
doesn't have to be physically contiguous memory, right?
Thanks

I am using src/system/kernel/slab
<http://xref.plausible.coop/source/xref/haiku/src/system/kernel/slab/>
for reference.
Hamish told me that Linux's kmalloc calls expect continuous memory
address. But not every call to kmalloc has to return a continuous memory.
So I need to figure out which calls actually require a continuous memory
and which do not. Though I am not very sure how I will go about doing that
(except for reading the code and trying to figure out what it does), I will
do that.
Anything else I need to understand/keep in mind before moving ahead from
here?
Thanks
