Subject: [PATCH 1/1] infiniband/hw/nes/: avoid unnecessary memset

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

Hi, here is a patch against linux/drivers/infiniband/hw/nes/nes_cm.c which :
	
1) Remove an explicit memset(.., 0, ...) to a variable allocated with
kzalloc (i.e. 'listener').


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

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