Well yeah, you told me the EDK-II coding standards forbid the common
defensive coding technique used in the language called "C", of
initialising the variable where it's declared. I wasn't up for arguing
about it, so I just stopped doing it.

Now you tell me to put it back, just in a more cumbersome way... OK,
I'll do that too.

I'm not sure the answer is going to make me any happier... but *why*
are we not allowed to just initialise variables where they're declared?

Oops :)

What was it I said about testing of corner cases when
updating/rebasing? I had explicitly tested this by cutting the size
down to 16 and watching it actually truncate. Obviously I didn't do
*that* again this time round (I have now!)

Well spotted; thanks!

I've pushed all the fixes you've just pointed out (thanks again) to my
'csm' branch. Won't send another series by email today; I'll let the
dust settle and some of the other discussions continue.

When I do repost, I may send the required functional patches 1-3,7 on
their own as I think they're ready to apply as-is, and leave the
cosmetic patches 4-6 in a separate series for further bikeshedding.
