[patch -mm] notifier chain initialization

[Jes Sorensen <jes@sgi.com>]

Hi,

This one is against the -mm tree, description below.

Cheers,
Jes

This patch goes on top of Alan Stern's
notifier-chain-update-api-changes.patch

It restructures the notifier chain initialization macros by
introducing FOO_NOTIFIER_INIT() macros which are used by the
FOO_NOTIFIER_HEAD() macros.

The benefit is that one can use the FOO_NOTIFIER_INIT() macro for
static initialization of a notifier chain.
