The dmar_get_irq_domain() function uses a mutex to protect the
initialization of the dmar_domain. Using guard(mutex) simplifies the
control flow, removes the need for a 'out' label, and ensures the
lock is automatically released regardless of the return path.

I think these are kinda like whitespace fixes: If you're fixing a bug or otherwise refactoring the code, go right ahead and convert over to guard(). Otherwise, they're not worth the code churn.

Otherwise, they're not worth the code churn. Thank you for the feedback. That makes total sense. I understand the concern about unnecessary code churn and will avoid sending pure stylistic cleanups unless they are part of a larger functional change or bug fix in the future. Richard
