This is the 5th of 7 set of driver conversion over to use the new
add_disk() error handling. Please let me know if you spot
any issues. This set deals with miscellaneous block drivers.

This patch set is based on axboe/master, you can find the
full set of changes on my 20210901-for-axboe-add-disk-error-handling
branch [0].

It would seem there are going to be a total of 7 sets of patches. The
next one will be the wonderful and exciting world of floppy drivers.
The last is the required changes to add a __must_check for the return
value for the caller.

Hmm, this is a more or less dead device driver, and I'm wondering if
we shouldn't remove it instead. But anyway, your patch is not correct:

- del_gendisk for all registered disks has to be called
- unregister_blkdev(XPRAM_MAJOR, XPRAM_NAME) is missing as well

That would be more or or less xpram_exit with parameter.

You can send a new patch or I can provide a proper one, whatever you
prefer.

I'm all for removing it.  I think we need to do a little more spring
cleaning on unmaintained and likely to be unused block drivers.

Yes, we'll remove it. I'll schedule it even for this merge
window. Should be away with -rc1.
