Nitpick: Could be a direct return.

Mater of taste, but I think that having an explicit return here would be 
clearer that a goto end;

I think that in all these paths, you should also have
	cxt->XXXmap = NULL;
after the kfree().

otherwise when mtdpstore_notify_remove() is called, you could have a 
double free.
