    I see the following splat with 3.13-rc1 when attempting to perform DMA:

    This is due to desc->txd.unmap containing garbage (uninitialised memory).
    
    Rather than add another dummy initialisation to _init_desc, instead
    ensure that the descriptors are zero-initialised during allocation and
    remove the dummy, per-field initialisation.
