We never checked for errors on add_disk() as this function
returned void. Now that this is fixed, use the shiny new
error handling.

Hmm, this is a more or less dead device driver, and I'm wondering if
we shouldn't remove it instead. But anyway, your patch is not correct:

- del_gendisk for all registered disks has to be called
- unregister_blkdev(XPRAM_MAJOR, XPRAM_NAME) is missing as well

That would be more or or less xpram_exit with parameter.

You can send a new patch or I can provide a proper one, whatever you
prefer.
