    I don't think those if's are needed, since the kfree code already does:

void kfree(const void *objp)
{
        if (unlikely(!objp))
                return;
...
}

    But if you really want to use it, I suggest using if (likely
(!<pointer>)) there to hint gcc of a possible optimization.

    Cheers,

Felipe Damasio
