It's largely a matter of taste (and I may be in a minority), and I know
there's certainly precedent in the kernel code, but I don't much like the 
style of mixing variable declarations that have initializers, with other
unrelated declarations (e.g., variables without initializers). What is 
the gain? One less line of text? That's (IMO) more than offset by the 
small loss of readability.

Cheers,

Michael
