Great, but why not follow Documentation/CodingStyle, and the example set
by the rest of the file?!

Instead of:

Something like this:

        if (heap.pohFreeList == NULL) {
                poha = kmalloc(OH_ALLOC_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL);
 
+ if (!poha) {
+ return(NULL);
+ }
+
                poha->pohaNext = heap.pohaChain;
                heap.pohaChain = poha;
