OK, that's fine, but:

Is this *really* how this is supposed to be used?
Tejun, this is your code. What do you think of something like this?
(untested)
Subject: ida: Simplified functions for id allocation.
The current hyper-optimized functions are overkill if you simply want
to allocate an id for a device. Create versions which use an internal
lock.
