Hm, shouldn't you vfree one at least them? It might be that just one of
them failed.

Is there any way to use 'pr_info(DRV_NAME' for these printk's? It might
require another patch, but it would make it nicer.

We don't want to try to clean up the per_cpu_spaces that might
have gotten allocated in the loop?
