The removal of the pointer is fine but the removal of the memset() is
not trivial but given that reg_rules_intersect() does indeed re-set
all elements of the struct this works OK. If reg_rules_intersect()
ever branches though we may need to re-add a memset() back, but its
fine like this. The issue I was trying to avoid was if you do not
memset you potentially piggy backed data set from the previous
intersect and this could potentially reduce the number of possible
valid rules.
