It's called mm_malloc, but no-where in the source does this function get called. Is it just me, or is this really not being used. And if it's not being used, what the hell is? Welcome to hacking, where you eventually become more clueful than anyone else and have to sort things our for yourself. It's entirely possible that it's not being called. If grepping thoroughly (including things other than .c sources) reveals it's not used, then it's not used. Another way to test is to #if 0 it out and rebuild the kernel. If it still works, then it's not used, and you've just made some more room.
