Thanks for the review, Andrew.

Name-space pollution fixed.

Apparently. Fixed.

No, these are called with a spinlock held. But we don't normally
allocate things via this function, instead we pre-allocate the eds
and tds in the fhci_mem_init, so the kmalloc above is the last resort
when no empty tds/eds left in the appropriate lists (normally should
not happen).
