Could you fix this up a bit?

Are you expecting interrupt routines could also hold the lock?

This can block, so you can't do it while holding the lock.  Its probably 
best to allocate it first on the assumption that it will be used (it 
seems probable that duplicate registrations are at least unlikely, and 
possibly a bug).
