Yeah that would be correct.

I just tested and confirmed and mailed out the patch below, you want to double
check for me?

    dm: Use kzalloc for all structs with embedded biosets/mempools
    
    mempool_init()/bioset_init() require that the mempools/biosets be zeroed
    first; they probably should not _require_ this, but not allocating those
    structs with kzalloc is a fairly nonsensical thing to do (calling
    mempool_exit()/bioset_exit() on an uninitialized mempool/bioset is legal
    and safe, but only works if said memory was zeroed.)
