Well, if you too think that this change can make the code cleaner I should
probably make it ;)

But, to me

		err = init_1();
		if (err)
			goto err_1;

		err = init_2();
		if (err)
			goto err_2;

		return 0;

	 err_2:
		cleanup_2();
	 err_1:
		cleanup_1();

looks better than

		err = init_1();
		if (err)
			goto err_1;

		err = init_2();
		if (!err)
			return 0;

		cleanup_2();
	 err_1:
		cleanup_1();

just because the 1st variant is more symmetrical. And in fact it is more
flexible, we might add init_3/etc.

But I won't insist, this is subjective. So please let me know if you still
think it would be better to add this change, I'll send v2.

Oleg.
