>Description:

It should be documented in malloc(9) that sys/param.h is needed to get
NULL defined and sys/kernel.h to get SYSINIT defined when one uses
MALLOC_DEFINE().

>How-To-Repeat:

Try to compile this file:

# include <sys/types.h>
# include <sys/malloc.h>

MALLOC_DEFINE(M_FOOBUF, "foobuffers", "Buffers to foo data into the ether");

and see the compile errors.

>Fix:

Add something like

.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
.Fd #inclued <sys/kernel.h>

just above the line

MALLOC_DEFINE(M_FOOBUF, "foobuffers", "Buffers to foo data into the ether");

in the man page.
