I see the following splat with 3.13-rc1 when attempting to perform DMA:
[ 253.004516] Alignment trap: not handling instruction e1902f9f at [<c0204b40>]

This is due to desc->txd.unmap containing garbage (uninitialised memory).
Rather than add another dummy initialisation to _init_desc, instead
ensure that the descriptors are zero-initialised during allocation and
remove the dummy, per-field initialisation.
