[Xen-cim] Provider Initialize functions

[Jim Fehlig <jfehlig@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Most of the providers have an initialize function that is called when 
for example the <ProviderName>_Create_InstanceMI function is  executed.  
The initialize function is provided in calls to the various CM*MIStub 
macros.  The second parameter of the initialize function (ctx) is not 
defined anywhere that I can find but is referenced during execution of 
the initialize function and crashes the cimom.  Only one of the 
providers does anything useful in the initialization function - 
Xen_CompterSystemIndication.  All of them however print some debug info 
and in doing so reference the bogus context and crash.  I simply 
commented all of the offending
_SBLIM_TRACE(2, ("--- context=\"%s\"", CMGetCharPtr(CDToString(_BROKER, 
context, NULL))));
statements in the various initialized routines to avoid the crash.

Do we anticipate needing the initialization routines?  If not, I can 
remove them.  Xen_ComputerSystemIndication apparently needs one although 
I doubt it works given the bogus context parameter.
BTW, I now have all of the providers working on SLES/openwbem.  The "get 
it working on suse/openwbem" patch will be committed to the repository 
after some cleanup, e.g. like the issue described above.
Regards,
Jim
