The following text,

---
The struct clocksource .list field is now required to be initialized
before calling clocksource_register().

This is a prerequisite for simplifying the clocksource
registration process.

Goes into ,

clocksource-arm-initialize-list-value.patch
clocksource-avr32-initialize-list-value.patch
clocksource-driver-initialize-list-value.patch
clocksource-i386-initialize-list-value.patch
clocksource-mips-initialize-list-value.patch
clocksource-parisc-initialize-list-value.patch
clocksource-s390-initialize-list-value.patch

The patch names are from 2.6.21-rc5-mm4. Heiko, Thomas do either of you
have any comments on the text being added?
