Yes, the documentation says kzalloc returns memory set to zero, so I 
will remove this else statement.

Good catch, it looks like the read_ack_write should also get this shift. 
I'm using a shift of 0 so I didn't catch this in testing :)

I think that should be doable. I'll make these changes in the next version.
