Actually, this should partially unwind what has been created already,
like this:

                if (err)
                        goto err_device_create;

and then at that label, you can do:

err_device_create:
        while (--i > 0)
                mce_device_remove(i);
        cpu_notifier_register_done();

And then here come your other labels:

err_out_mem:
 ....

And so on. Makes sense?

This needs to be a label which goes before err_device_create above and
which does

err_reg_hotcpu:
        unregister_syscore_ops(&mce_syscore_ops);

And this has to go to the top-label which unwinds all the work, along
with the mce percpu devices like:

        for_each_online_cpu(i)
                mce_device_remove(i);

        unregister_hotcpu_notifier(&mce_cpu_notifier);

        ...

and so on.

Ok, am I making sense?

Don't be afraid to give it a try, even if it is wrong - we'll get it
right eventually :-)

For testing, you can use a kvm guest and "inject" errors in the
registration code just to see whether it works as expected.

And feel free to ask questions if something's not clear.

Thanks!
