Subject[patch 30/41] ACPI EC: Fix regression due to use of uninitialized variable
2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Alexey Starikovskiy <astarikovskiy@suse.de>

commit d21cf3c16b1191f3154a51e0b20c82bf851cc553 upstream.

breakage introduced by following patch
commit 27663c5855b10af9ec67bc7dfba001426ba21222
Author: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com>
Date: Fri Oct 10 02:22:59 2008 -0400

acpi_evaluate_integer() does not clear passed variable if
there is an error at evaluation.
So if we ignore error, we must supply initialized variable.
