I find the descriptions a bit too terse.  Why do they need to be
removed?  So, I suppose you wanted to say explicit initializations to
0 are unnecessary, but there are bio_segments() conversions too.

The patch is simple and this isn't a big deal but I really hope for
better (correct) descriptions.

Thanks.
