I don't want to pretend to understand the internals of this idr code, but
it's not clear that idr_for_each is equivalent to idr_for_each_entry when
iterating through all id values.  The "++id" in idr_for_each_entry looks
like it could lead to some missed entries?  The comment about idr_get_next
returning the "next number to given id" sounds like an entry with an id of
"++id" would be missed.
