Adding the helper reduces object code size as well as overall
source size line count.

It's also consistent with all the various zalloc mechanisms
in the kernel.

Done with a simple cocci script and some typing.

Awesome, any chance you can paste in the SmPL? Also any chance
we can get this added to a make coccicheck so that maintainers
moving forward can use that to ensure that no new code is
added that uses the old school API?

Not many of these are recent.

Arnd Bergmann reasonably suggested that the pci_alloc_consistent
api be converted the the more widely used dma_alloc_coherent.

Anyway, here's the little script.
I'm not sure it's worthwhile to add it though.

I don't know much about SmPL, but wouldn't having that if statement
there reduce your matches?

Code that matched without the if statement would be buggy, since it
wouldn't be checking the pci_zalloc_consistent return value properly.l
