Note that struct initialization does not set padding bits. So any
struct that is used as a hash key or that goes to disk or something
similar needs to be set with memset/MemSet instead. Various places in
the code make explicit comments about that, which your patch deletes,
which is a mistake. This patch needs to be adjusted carefully with this
in mind before it can be considered.
