Summary

Per https://reviews.llvm.org/D68115, only the first field is
zero-initialized, meanwhile other fields are undef.

The pattern can be observed on clang as well, that when
-ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern is specified 0xaa is filled for
non-active fields, otherwise they are zero-initialized.
Technically both are acceptable when using clang. However it
would be good to simply bzero the modspecific_t in such case to
strict to the standard.
