I was thinking about this, and initially, I chose to make the smaller
change. I think it might make more sense to combine the patch,
given that the memset behaviour is "incorrect" if we do it based on
sizeof(*req), or sizeof(*resp).

I'll go ahead and respin this patch with the change to call memset
based on sizes.
