PATCH v4 1/1 sgi-xp: Use designated initializers

Prepare to mark sensitive kernel structures for randomization by making sure they're using designated initializers. In this case, no initializers are needed (they can be NULL initialized and callers adjusted to check for NULL, which is more efficient than an indirect call).

Prepare to mark sensitive kernel structures for randomization by making sure they're using designated initializers. In this case, no initializers are needed (they can be NULL initialized and callers adjusted to check for NULL, which is more efficient than an indirect call).

I'd say this looks good:

Until I noticed all this is unused, so we should just remove it entirely. I now remember the weird SGI excuse, but given that they haven't managed to get their code upstream in more than 10 years there is no valid reason at all to keep this around.
