Thanks for the review first of all !

In fact I switched to this split alloc/init (as you guessed later) because of the lack
of devm_ flavour (and my ignorance about the usage of devm_add_action_or_reset ...)
I'll look into it.

No I think in general the verbosity of the printk is still to be 'tuned' in this series

Missed. I'll fix

As a general note, this morning I was going to reply to myself (O_o) on this patch
saying that I'm inclined to review a bit the current initialization phase of 
registered_protocols and registered_events in the sense of adding a few cpu barriers
which are probably lacking where I use mere compiler barriers (_ONCE).
I'll put those probably in v5

Thanks again
