This doesn't fit the usual for_each_* pattern, since _g has to be
manually initialised first. Either come up with a way of maknig this fit
the usual pattern, or get rid of this, and use:

	t = however_you_get_the_first_timer();

	if (!t)
		bailt_out_somehow();
	
	do { 
		...
	} while (t = next_platform_timer(t));

Why is this not simply in the error path of acpi_gtdt_init()?

Please have a common error path below, and branch to that when you need
to free these.

Why do these need to be here?

What possible value is ther in exporting acpi_gtdt_release() !?

Thanks,
