Subject: [1/5] pcmcia: synclink_cs: fix information leak to userland

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Vasiliy Kulikov <segooon@...il.com>

commit 5b917a1420d3d1a9c8da49fb0090692dc9aaee86 upstream.

Structure new_line is copied to userland with some padding fields unitialized.
It leads to leaking of stack memory.
