My patch does this allocation in _initialize_arm_tdep() whereas yours
does it in check_prologue_cache() and save_prologue_cache().

Are you sure? Here are what I believe to be the relevant lines from
the arm_frame_chain hunk:
+ caller_fi.saved_regs = (CORE_ADDR *) xcalloc (1, SIZEOF_FRAME_SAVED_REGS);
+ old_chain = make_cleanup (xfree, caller_fi.saved_regs);
+ caller_fi.extra_info = xcalloc (1, sizeof (struct frame_extra_info));
+ make_cleanup (xfree, caller_fi.extra_info);
saved_regs is being allocated and a cleanup is being created. Were you
perhaps refering to some other hunk?
