This works, but why not just use slab for this? kmalloc has 512 and 1024
pools already and you won't waste memory for rounding up.

Something like this:

        sysinfo = kmalloc(TDSYSINFO_STRUCT_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!sysinfo)
                return -ENOMEM;

        cmr_array_size = sizeof(struct cmr_info) * MAX_CMRS;

        /* CMR array has to be 512-aligned */
        cmr_array_size = round_up(cmr_array_size, 512);

        cmr_array = kmalloc(cmr_array_size, GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!cmr_array) {
                kfree(sysinfo);
                return -ENOMEM;
        }

?
