The pa_pdc_cell struct can be kmalloc'd, so do that instead.

Even though we are never going to hit this panic, could this be coded
so processor_probe just fails for that PDC device?

ie printk and return 1 like some of the code right above it does.

I really dislike adding panic() calls if they are easy to avoid.

The rest looks fine to me.
