static __init struct attribute **
get_events_attrs(struct attribute **base,
		 struct attribute **mem,
		 struct attribute **tsx)
{
	struct attribute **attrs = base;
	struct attribute **old;

	if (mem) {
		old = attrs;
		attrs = merge_attrs(attrs, mem);
		if (old != base)
			kfree(old);
	}

	if (tsx && boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_RTM)) {
		old = attrs;
		attrs = merge_attrs(attrs, tsx);
		if (old != base)
			kfree(old);
	}

	return attrs;
}

Would that not help to concentrate things a little more?
