The right way to do it is:

	memset(&info.vm86plus, 0, sizeof info.vm86plus);

If it's just one field _and_ we don't have padding we want to zero out -
certainly...

It is - [comments removed for clarity]:

struct kernel_vm86_struct {
        struct kernel_vm86_regs regs;
#define VM86_TSS_ESP0 flags
        unsigned long flags;
        unsigned long screen_bitmap;
        unsigned long cpu_type;
        struct revectored_struct int_revectored;
        struct revectored_struct int21_revectored;
        struct vm86plus_info_struct vm86plus;
        struct pt_regs *regs32;
};
