I'm agree with you that if allocation fails at boot time, we are dead :)
But this coding style breaking rules that result from some functions
_must_ be checked for errors. Maybe we should add BUG_ON() here or
indicate someway that we have no ideas how to handle error?
What rules exactly? I don't think any of those functions are declared
with __must_check
Coding style should never get in the way of what is right.
The classic way to explicitely discard a return value is a cast to void,
but that is generally considered
ugly in the Linux kernel.
One could possibly add a comment about this at least.
