Why do you need it zeroed? You don't clear it between iterations, so
either you don't need this, or you have a bug in the loop.

Huh?
Why doesn't GTDT expose a function to fill in the entire arch_timer_mem
in one go?
There shouldn't be multiple instances, as far as I am aware. Am I
mistaken?

Regardless, arch_timer_mem is small enough that you don't need dynamic
allocaiton. Just put it on the stack, e.g.
static int __init arch_timer_mem_acpi_init(void)
{
int i = 0;
struct arch_timer_mem timer_mem;
while (!gtdt_arch_timer_mem_init(timer_mem, i)) {
int ret = arch_timer_mem_init();
if (ret)
return ret;
i++
}
return 0;
}
Thanks,
Mark.
