    Agreed with all above. Fixed.

    There is one error condition on the error path that might potentially happen
    that it is not related directly to the kalloc stuff: if, there GET_POS() tries
    to access something out of the allocated range, it bails out. I added this
    debug printk due to that, while testing the allocation changes. The check could
    potentially be using a BUG_ON() call, but, as failing here, the edac drivers
    will not load, I opted to not use BUG_ON, and, instead use the standard error
    path for it.

    That's said, it seems better to remove this debugf1 from this place, and add
    some printk(KERN_ERR, ...) at this specific condition.

    I'm folding the enclosed patch on this one, in order to address the comments
    on your review.


    Thanks!
