Hi Andre

A couple of whites space comments inline.

Aim for formatting consistency.  I'd put a blank line here and
in similar locations to keep each read / error check block separate...

Just like you have done here.

Why wrap so much.  Something like:
DEFINE_GUARD(mon_sel, struct mpam_msc *,
	     mpam_mon_sel_lock(_T), mpam_mon_sel_unlock(_T));

or all on one line seems fine to me.

Similar.
