Hi,

Here's a refresh and update on the kmalloc_obj() API proposal. Please
see patch 2 for the specific details. And note that this is obviously
not v6.15 material! :)

Thanks!

 v4:
 - split __flex_counter() out and add appropriate helpers
 - add flex array examples to commit log
 - add "size" details to commit log
 - add treewide conversion details to commit log
 - improve treewide Coccinelle scripting
