Hi Joe,

Since CODA_ALLOC no longer uses __FILE__ and __LINE__ and doesn't use
the cast argument any more, it can be replaced with a static inline
function. Something like this (untested, applies on top of your patch):
----

Since CODA_ALLOC no longer needs to be defined as a macro, replace it
with a static inline function and make it return the allocated pointer.
Rename it to coda_alloc to be more consistent with other function
naming. Similarly, replace CODA_FREE with a static inline function.

Also fix a bug in coda_psdev_write where the return value of CODA_ALLOC
was not being checked.
