I'm not understanding the problem here. Any VMbus driver that uses
this requestID allocation mechanism must set newchannel->rqstor_size
to a non-zero value. But if a VMbus driver doesn't use the mechanism,
then newchannel->rqstor_size will default to zero, and the mechanism
will not be initialized for the channels used by that driver. I think the
cleanup of the mechanism handles the case where it wasn't ever
initialized. Or am I missing something?
