	Something should be changed here, may be at least
TCP/UDP, who knows.

	That is what we want. If you plan another submission
you can add empty line before this memset and to replace
the __ip_vs_get_timeouts call in ip_vs_genl_set_config with
memset but they are cosmetic changes. Or may be Simon will
take care about the coding style when applying the change.
