Merge conflict allmodconfig compilation please?

Id rather if you use a define like:
#define BIO_KMALLOC_POOL ((void *)~0)

So any code access actually crashes in the bug case where
this leaks out. (And there is no actual unused storage allocated)

BTW I like this reuse of the bi_pool member as a flag as well.
