I don't know.  Does this matter?  If this *really* matters, I'd much
rather have memset(&ida->FIRST_FIELD, 0, sizeof(struct ida) - offset
of FIRST_FIELD) to ensure that all fields get reset or implement an
internal function like __idr_init_without_zeroing(); however, given
the size of an idr and the low frequency of the operation, I'd prefer
to just leave it as-is.

Thanks.
