I'm not clear on what's supposed to happen with __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(). I
do know that its documentation is crap.
Yes, "__SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED(old_style_spin_init)" is wrong. We'll fix it.

Yes, this is better. Did you already make this change when you applied it to
your -mm repo?
GFP_DMA implies GFP_ATOMIC, but it's appropriate for documentation purposes.
So does that mean that "GFP_DMA | GFP_KERNEL" is always wrong? If so, this
combination is used a lot in the kernel today.

Could have used __GFP_ZERO, I guess.
I had completely forgotten about __GFP_ZERO. Thanks.

hm, I'd have expected checkpatch to whine about the space after the cast
there. Whatever.
I thought a space after a cast is the right thing to do?
please take a look, and please use checkpatch on all future patches.
Sorry, we forgot to run it again after our second version of the patch.

and the free_irq() will go splat?
Sorry, but I don't understand what's wrong with this code.
We'll make the other changes you've suggested and repost.
