Yes, lots were already killed off, but there are also several kernel-janitor patches to remove many more static 0 inits. They can be found at http://developer.osdl.org/ogasawara/kj-patches/uninit_static/ and I'll be trying to have them merged, although I don't know how well they will be accepted. -- ~Randy
