I've got a lot of "Slab corruption" with next-20060307 (actually a 
continuous flow of warnings) whereas next-20060306 is fine.

    kobjects: mark cleaned up kobjects as unitialized

    When I remove only the kvm-intel module without removing the kvm module
    itself, I get an error saying that a kobject is trying to be
    reinitialized. Its because of the fact that kvm reuses a kobject in
    kvm_init when calling sysdev_register.

    This patch fixes kobject_cleanup by marking the kobject as uninitialized
    when we cleanup to allow kobjects to be reused.
