Greg asked about struct holes and the answer is "= {}" will zero out
struct holes but it's not important in this case.  The "= {}" is a GCC
extension for zeroing structs and it's not part of the C standard.
The struct has a kernel pointer in it so we had better not be shairing
it to user space.

I thought we proved that "= {}" will _NOT_ zero out holes in structures.
Or did we really prove that?  I can't remember now, do you?

thanks,
