I did not figure out why you sent 2 separate patches. Usually it is one
patch which goes upstream, then GregKH and others pick it up and back
ports to various stable trees. If they have issues, they may come and
ask for help. So there should be 1 patch.

Did I request so? I thought I just expressed a thought that the memset
is redundant and should be killed, and I thought you'd take a deeper
look and decide whether it is safe to do or not.

So do we need that memset or not? :-)
