[patch 04/11] Add INIT_ARRAY() to kernel.h

[Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca>]

[-- Attachment #1: declare-array.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 968 bytes --]

Add initialization of an array, which needs brackets that would pollute kernel
code, to kernel.h. It is used to declare arguments passed as function parameters
such as:
text_poke(addr, INIT_ARRAY(unsigned char, 0xf0, len), len);
