That should be OK as it is conditionally created in the way that init
func returns,
if proc_mkdir returns NULL:

init():
	acpi_processor_dir = proc_mkdir(ACPI_PROCESSOR_CLASS, acpi_root_dir);
	if (!acpi_processor_dir)
/* -> proc_mkdir failed -> remove_proc_entry not needed */
		return_VALUE(0);

	acpi_processor_dir->owner = THIS_MODULE;

	result = acpi_bus_register_driver(&acpi_processor_driver);
	if (result < 0) {
		remove_proc_entry(ACPI_PROCESSOR_CLASS, acpi_root_dir);
/* here it is already removed ... */
		return_VALUE(0);
	}
/*        else ... here it must be removed... */
	processor_driver_registered = 1;

Thanks,
