3.8.13.13 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 8d1e72250c847fa96498ec029891de4dc638a5ba upstream.

The DevInfo.u32Reserved[] array isn't initialized so it leaks kernel
information to user space.
