The driver adds a huge number of globals.

As a pointless cleanup it might be nice to convert all this:

: int (*xpc_setup_partitions_sn) (void);
: void (*xpc_teardown_partitions_sn) (void);
: enum xp_retval (*xpc_get_partition_rsvd_page_pa) (void *buf, u64 *cookie,
: 						  unsigned long *rp_pa,
: 						  size_t *len);
: int (*xpc_setup_rsvd_page_sn) (struct xpc_rsvd_page *rp);
: 
: void (*xpc_allow_hb) (short partid);
: void (*xpc_disallow_hb) (short partid);
: void (*xpc_disallow_all_hbs) (void);
: void (*xpc_heartbeat_init) (void);
: void (*xpc_heartbeat_exit) (void);
: void (*xpc_increment_heartbeat) (void);
: void (*xpc_offline_heartbeat) (void);
: void (*xpc_online_heartbeat) (void);

into

struct xpc_operations {
	int (*setup_partitions_sn)(void);
	...
	void (*xpc_received_payload)(struct xpc_channel *ch, void *payload);
} xpc_operations;

Or not ;)
