Why down_write? You are merily checking whether the thing is
registered already.

So I assume that this is for a particular caller in the apci ioapic
hotplug code and that call site has its own serialization. Otherwise
the return value is not protected at all.
Please add a Docbook comment to that function, and document the
locking rules as thats pretty non obvious.
The such is missing in some other patches as well.
