Initializing a kobject

One minor addition, all fields in a struct kobject must be initialized to zero before calling kobject_init(). If this is not true, bad things can happen when kobject_init() is called.

This is easily done by calling memset(foo, 0x00, sizeof(*foo)); if foo contained a struct kobject, before calling kobject_init().
