If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@...hat.com> commit cdda0e5acbb78f7b777049f8c27899e5c5bb368f upstream. Calling the workqueue interface on uninitialized work items isn't a good idea even if they're zeroed. It's not failing catastrophically only through happy accidents.
