These checks are only to pass the match function. Actual checks in attach function.

Will try to see if I can make those changes in my next set of patches. Actually the bigger problem here is match is called with spin_lock held. We are making the blocking calls with spin lock held. Thanks to Hannes for pointing that out. Will replace the spin_lock with mutex lock. ��.n��������+%������w��{.n�����{������ܨ}���Ơz�j:+v�����w����ޙ��&�)ߡ�a����z�ޗ���ݢj��w�f
