Yes this branch worked well - and there were no leaks from i915 or kvm modules for trace.
What is however interesting is the false positive leak for dma_debug_init(). Which is sometimes listed and sometimes not - the memory is allocated just once in the code during boot, so it's strange that pointers to that area are sometimes out of kmemleak scan.
