Convert to the much saner new idr interface.  The existing code looks
buggy to me - ID 0 is treated as no-ID but allocation specifies 0 as
lower limit and there's no error handling after parial success.  This
conversion keeps the bugs unchanged.

Only compile tested.

This patch depends on an earlier idr changes and I think it would be
best to route these together through -mm.  Please holler if there's
any objection.  Thanks.

I don't quite understand your comment.  idr_pre_get() returns 0 in the
case of failure.

Hello, Chas.

So, if you do the following,

	int id1 = 0, id2 = 0;

	if (!id1)
		err = idr_get_new_above(&card->idr, handle1, 0, &id1);
	if (!id2 && err == 0)
		err = idr_get_new_above(&card->idr, handle2, 0, &id2);
	if (err)
		goto out;
									    
You have no way of telling whether id1/2 are allocated or not.  0 is
the special "not allocated" value but it also is a valid ID.  The
error path should be freeing id1/2 if either of them has been
allocated but it doesn't and can't with 0 as the non-allocated value.

Thanks.

yeah, i see now.  it didn't understand what idr_get_new_above() was
doing with the start id.  i assumed that it would return something
greater than the start id.  i guess it never did return the starting id
(atleast after some initial failure).

additionally, yes, cleaning up if the second allocation failed was never
done.
