If the inlcude headers aren't sorted alphabetically, then the
logical choice is to append new ones, however that creates a
lot of potential for conflicts or duplicates because every change
will then add new includes in the same location.

When all the registers are volatile(unlikely, but logically and mostly
will happen for some 'device' who has very few registers), then the
count will be euqal to 0, then kmalloc() will return ZERO_SIZE_PTR,
which equals to ((void *)16).
So this patch fix this with just doing the zero check before calling
kmalloc(). If the count == 0, so we can make sure that all the registers
are volatile, so no cache is need.

Applied, thanks. With changes like this it is much better if the
changelog explains why the code is redundant - say in words that the
value used is never referenced and looking up the value has no side

Applied, thanks. I'm assuming there's nothing affected by this in
Linus' tree which needs this as a fix immediately?
