Subject[PATCH 2/3] kmemleak: Introduce a default off mode for kmemleak
From
Date
From: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com>

Introduce a new DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_DEFAULT_OFF config parameter that allows
kmemleak to be disabled by default, but enabled on the command line
via: kmemleak=on. Although a reboot is required to turn it on, its still
useful to not require a re-compile.
