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

You probably mean _dynamic_ initialization of a notifier head. The current code handles static initialization just fine.

Actually I meant static, I have a notifier declared within a struct and
a macro that initializes it at compile time - didn't work with the old
code.

But I also use it dynamically where this also benefits it.

There's nothing wrong with doing things like this. I didn't include initialization macros originally simply because there aren't any dynamically-initialized notifier heads in the kernel.

There probably will be :)

Jes
