The compiler complains about `totsize' being possibly uninitialized

I get this error with gcc 4.5.3 on NetBSD, and also with gcc 4.6.2 on
Debian GNU/Linux.

I'm not familiar with that code.  The attached patch fixes this by
returning NULL when the argument `level' has an unexpected value.

I've looked at other code and seen that return NULL will result in the skipping of those devices altogether, exactly what we want. So I think it's a reasonable behaviour for this function. So go ahead
