Subject: [PATCH 1/1] AccessRunner: avoid unnecessary memset

From: Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>

Hi, here is a patch against linux/drivers/dma/iop-adma.c which :
	
1) Remove an explicit memset(.., 0, ...) to a variable allocated with
kzalloc (i.e. 'card_info' array of the structure 'instance').


Note: this patch is based on 'linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2'

Signed-off-by: Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>
