Eww, insidious :P.  This assigned local variable initrd_filename to
itself, then put the lvalue result of that assignment as the initializer
to the next available struct member residing after .kernel_cmdline
(which happened to be .initrd_filename).  That is, gcc didn't complain
because it worked by sheer dumb luck.
