I sent out a series that was rebased. It works for me, but I want to
make sure I didn't make any glaring issues. I've also sent some fixes
to the lkdtm tests. One thing that stands out to me still is that the
READ_AFTER_FREE never shows poisoning. I remain confused, since
obviously if zeroing is working, it's being correctly poisoned...
