I don't think this is necessary.  Static variables (like the
init_task_union) are initialized to 0 by the kernel on startup.  So I
don't think we need to explicitly set this (if you notice, not all
fields are set now in the INIT_TASK() macro due to this.)

Unless the attribute (__section__(".data.init_task")) changes this,
anyone know about that?

And your patch was mangled by your mailer :)

thanks,
