This little bit of refactoring could go into a seperate patch.  It's
easier for me to review lots of smaller patches.

But I don't understand why you're doing it.

Also, I'm a little suspicious of code that doesn't initialize an object
till after it's been added to a global structure.  The more typical
pattern is:


	initialize foo
	take locks, add foo global structure, drop locks.

This prevents anyone doing a lookup from finding "foo" while it's still
in a partially initialized state.
