coccinelle: alloc_cast: drop removed allocatorsgrafted
- pci_alloc_consistent() and pci_zalloc_consistent() were removed by
commit 7968778914e5
("PCI: Remove the deprecated "pci-dma-compat.h" API")
- kmem_alloc() was removed by commit f078d4ea8276
("xfs: convert kmem_alloc() to kmalloc()")
- kmem_zalloc() was removed by commit 10634530f7ba
("xfs: convert kmem_zalloc() to kzalloc()")
- kmem_zone_alloc() and kmem_zone_zalloc() were removed by commit
bae633a4a283 ("xfs: remove xfs_zone_{alloc,zalloc} helpers")
So drop them from the rules.
No functional change.

You should not compile-in vesafb +unless you have primary display on non-Rage128 VBE2.0 device (see +Documentation/fb/vesafb.rst for details). + + +X11 +=== + +XF68_FBDev should generally work fine, but it is non-accelerated.
