Hi Sam,

Sorry for ignoring your responses before. Somehow your emails were not
hitting my inbox for some reason, but I found them in my lkml folder.

So I am confused on the right way to fix this.

Sam is saying drop the __init and Jan is suggesting add __initdata for
these two special cases.

Anyone want to break the tie? :-)

Cheers,
Don
