Re: 2.6test /proc/net/pnp oops.

Ok, that patch stopped the random addresses appearing
in /proc/net/pnp. There are also a bunch of other vars
we output in that file also marked as initdata which
look like they need fixing for the same reason.

The only remaining curious item for me..
With this fixed, the bootserver is 0.0.0.0, and there's
a check which skips printing it if its INADDR_NONE

There are similar checks for the nameserver entries, but
they still get printed out (as 0.0.0.0)
