Sure, makes sense.
It will be fixed for v2.

Ok, I will remove it then.

I understand this leads to better performance in case anything fails.
Also, I think list_add happening in the end is less error-prone (in
case the list is checked between list_add and a fail).
But what if we put it at the end?
What is the chance of a kzalloc of 4 pointers (struct direct_window)
failing after walk_system_ram_range?
Is it not worthy doing that for making enable_ddw() easier to
understand?
Best regards,
Leonardo
