Subject: [patch] drivers/char/esp.c: fix bootup lockup (was: Re: Linux
	2.6.25-rc4)


randconfig testing found a bootup lockup in drivers/char/esp.c - find 
the fix below. Not sure why it became more prominent in 2.6.25-rc4, the 
bug seems rather old and i've been doing allyesconfig bootups for ages 
with CONFIG_ESP enabled.

kzalloc() is not the way to initialize spinlocks anymore.
