You mean /sys/devices/system/node/node# ?

That can't be right, you're ignoring the return value of the first 
sysfs_create_link().

The return values of register_cpu_under_node() and 
unregister_cpu_under_node() are always ignored, so it would probably be 
best to convert these to be void functions.  That doesn't mean you can 
simply ignore the result of the first sysfs_create_link(), though: the 
second should probably be suppressed if the first returns an error.
