From: "J. Neuschäfer" <j...@posteo.net>

Globals defined in headers can result in multiple-definition errors
while linking, if they are visible beyond the current translation unit.

This hasn't been a problem for initreg.h so far, but would become a
problem in the next patch, where I use a constant from initreg.h in a
second C file.
