From what I remembered from previous mails on this list (which is what
caused me to pick up on this), and what I later quoted from the gcc
manual, all those places (where something is marked __initdata but is
not explicitly initialised) would appear to be incorrect.

So they should probably be fixed up.

Well... A lot of places in the kernel needs to be fixed, regardless
this patch... I can probably creat a patch for this as well... But
since I don't an expert in this one... We need to be sure this should
be fixed.
