Yeah, so it only fixed part of the problem.

It isn't that straight forward unfortunately, we need to make sure the
table doesn't get allocated for the same device twice, so
find+allocate needs to happen within a locked region.

I have taken, not so straight forward, approach to fixing this issue,
lets see if this fixes it or not.
