This doesn't actually work:

drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv_core.c:573: error: unknown field 'kfifo' specified in initializer
drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv_core.c:573: error: unknown field 'in' specified in initializer
drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv_core.c:573: warning: missing braces around initializer
drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv_core.c:573: warning: (near initialization for '(anonymous).<anonymous>.kfifo')
drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aerdrv_core.c:573: error: unknown field 'out' specified in initializer

gcc-4.4.4.
