[PATCH] uninitialised flags element could cause crashes

[PATCH] uninitialised flags element could cause crashes

[Matthew Wilcox]

window is not zeroed, so the flags should be assigned, not modified.
This can lead to crashes at boot if the IO and Memory resources overlap.

"Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon 
the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those
conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince 
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep 
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain
