It looks like that could be just return xa_alloc_cyclic(...);

I think this filename is too generic. Maybe phy_link_topology.h, or
move it into include/net.

What is the locking for these functions? Are you assuming RTNL? Maybe
add ASSERT_RTNL(); into them to make this clear.

Again, i think this filename is too generic.

Is this int, or unsigned int? Is a negative value possible and legal?

Please document what these actually mean.
