If it is bool, then why bother with module.h and all the
MODULE_AUTHOR and similar stuff?

Probably no need to call out ARM specifically here.  I'm pretty sure
quite a few of the powerpc parts have SRAM too.

Assuming you don't ever intend adding more to the struct, then:

static struct gen_pool *sram_pool;

instead?  And you'll lose the needless indirections in the
remaining code below, and the kzalloc too (which you
currently leak, btw).  I'd also delete the "/* sentinel */"
comment too, since it is self evident. (The disease has
spread by copying from other drivers I see).
