Surely that string is a mistake. You could use
dev_name(hcd->self.sysdev) or a name passed by the caller.

If you have a usb_hcd_setup_local_mem() function then you should also
have a usb_hcd_remove_local_mem() function.

This really isn't necessary. The entire ohci_hcd structure is
initialized to 0 when it is first allocated.

"allocator" is the wrong word -- an allocator is something that
allocates. Perhaps "memory area" or something along those lines.
