We already went this patch and then reverted it. I guess before we did not had
ACQUIRE() and ACQUIRE_ERR() but I'm not sure that makes it much better. Looking at the
last two patches on how we are handling the buffer mode stuff, I'm really not convinced...

Also, I have doubts sparse can keep up with the __cleanup stuff so I'm not sure the
annotations much make sense if we go down this path. Unless we want to use both 
approaches which is also questionable.
