I find the indication of a successful function execution sufficient by
the statement “return 0;” at the end.
How do you think about to omit such an extra variable initialisation?
Thanks, it's no need now. I'll remove it in v3.


  	char *resched_name, *callfunc_name, *debug_name;

  	resched_name = kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "resched%d", cpu);

  	per_cpu(xen_resched_irq, cpu).name = resched_name;
  	rc = bind_ipi_to_irqhandler(XEN_RESCHEDULE_VECTOR,
  				    cpu,

You propose to apply the same error code in four if branches.
I suggest to avoid the specification of duplicate assignment statements
for this purpose.
How do you think about to use another label like “e_nomem”?
I'll add a new label to simply the code.

Markus
