+/// Remove casting the values returned by memory allocation functions
+/// like kmalloc, kzalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc etc.
+///
+//# This makes an effort to find cases of casting of values returned by
+//# kmalloc, kzalloc, kcalloc, kmem_cache_alloc, kmem_cache_zalloc,
+//# kmem_cache_alloc_node, kmalloc_node and kzalloc_node and removes
+//# the casting as it is not required. The result in the patch case may
+//# need some reformatting.
