This can't be right.  zatm_dev->mbx_start[i] is allocated with:
   1306                         here = (unsigned long) kmalloc(2*MBX_SIZE(i),
   1307                             GFP_KERNEL);
   1308                         if (!here) {
   1309                                 error = -ENOMEM;
   1310                                 goto out;
   1311                         }
   1312                         if ((here^(here+MBX_SIZE(i))) & ~0xffffUL)/* 
paranoia */
   1313                                 here = (here & ~0xffffUL)+0x10000;
   1314                         zatm_dev->mbx_start[i] = here;

so even kfree((void *)zatm_dev->mbx_start[i]); is wrong in case
there was an alignment, but kfree(&zatm_dev->mbx_start[i])
is wrong in all cases.
