[OpenAFS-devel] AFSD memory footprint

So, afsd winds up mallocing a lot of memory during it's cache sweep
and startup stages. I don't think it needs most of that memory by the
time it calls into the kernel. Is there any reason that we don't
'free()' that memory before the last afs_syscall()? I'm thinking that
this could potentially free a few megabytes of RAM. Or will it not
matter since the virtual memory is already mapped into the process
space?
