    Convert to the much saner new idr interface.
    
    Note that the adhoc cyclic id allocation is buggy.  If wraparound
    happens, the previous code with idr_get_new_above() may segfault and
    the converted code will trigger WARN and return -EINVAL.  Even if it's
    fixed to wrap to zero, the code will be prone to unnecessary -ENOSPC
    failures after the first wraparound.  We probably need to implement
    proper cyclic support in idr.
