How many times have I told you to include the reason for
your patches in
your proposed commit message? Too often.

For instance, specific to this patch:

Many people do not know that a generic kmalloc does a
dump_stack() on OOM. That information should be part
of the commit message.

Also removing the printk code reduces overall code size.
The actual size reduction should be described in the
commit message too.
