There are so many problems with this patch I do not know where
to start.

Your subject line says the initializations are "useless" yet
your commit message says they are "useful".

This is a cleanup, and does not fix any bugs, and is therefore
absolutely not appropriate for the 'net' tree.

I'm tossing this entire series, you need to be more careful
with your submissions.
