Unless you look up ocxlpmem by minor number later in the patch series (and
most of the series didn't make it to my mailbox), this can just be an ida.

static DEFINE_IDA(minors);
...
minor = ida_alloc_max(&minors, NUM_MINORS, GFP_KERNEL);
...
ida_free(&minors, MINOR(ocxlpmem->dev.devt));
...
and you can drop the dynamic initialisation.  And the mutex.
