Olaf Kirch of SuSE tracked down a problem where module unloads of
the IPMI driver would occasionally result in Oopses. He tracked
that down to a variable that wasn't always initialized properly
in some situations. This patch initializes that variable.
Olaf sent a patch that kzalloc-ed the data, but this structure
is large enough that I would perfer to not do that.
Thanks Olaf!
