Yes, they should. The size of the requested region was changed with
commit e7c310c36e5fdf1b83a459e5db167bfbd86137db, but one occurrence of
release_region() was not changed accordingly.

0x8 is not the correct size, this should be 32. As there is an other
occurance already, I'll post an updated patch in a bit.
