God, it's annoying that a statically declared mutex is not
defacto initialized.

Yeah, I understand the "witness" crap (if it's there); that
doesn't make it any less annoying.

Actually, a linker set (not a SYSINIT) could fix that... you
would still need one sysinit to do the linkage of the statically
declared structures, but it's at least doable.
