I suggest to take another look at a few implementation details.

1. Would it make sense to merge such SmPL rules into one
   so that code duplication could be reduced a bit
   in such a script?

2. How do you think about to extend the shown check list
   with the function "kvm_kvzalloc"?

3. Do you want to maintain a growing (?) function name list manually?
