Could you delete dm_shadow[] in a follow on patch.
How I review these sorts of patches is that: 1) Ignore deleted variables. If those are used then it will cause a compile problem so I don't worry about it.
2) Verify that when we delete initialization, then we also delete the variable. In this case we deleted the initialization of dm_shadow[] but not the variable itself, so I wondered if we were using unitialized data. It turns out that it was just an oversight.
Reviewing these means a lot of searching, for each variable. Next time if the patch were split up more it would make it a bit easier.
