So it will.  I blame the gcc developers.

Redo of earlier patch to get rid of MOD_INC/DEC and use alloc_netdev.
This is against 2.6.0-test5 bk latest.

Update sealevel driver to match current net_device interface:
	- dynamically allocate netdevice and private data.
	- get rid of MOD_INC/DEC
	- if_ptr not used
	- bugfix: not all of board structure was being zeroed.

Note: this driver still doesn't probe() correctly since it just assumes that
if loaded the hardware is there!

Since I don't have one of these boards...
tested it by #ifdef'ing out all the bits that touch actual hardware.

Convert ali-ircc driver to:
	- use alloc_net_dev not dev_alloc
	- allocate private data at same time
	- cleanup error unwinds
	- call free_netdev.

Builds and loads, but don't have real hardware.

Convert via-ircc 2.6.0-test5
	- use alloc_net_dev not dev_alloc
	- allocate private data at same time
	- cleanup error unwinds
	- call free_netdev.

Builds and loads, but don't have real hardware.

Cleanup nsc-ircc driver for 2.6.0-test5
	- replace dev_alloc with alloc_netdev
	- use private data allocated with alloc_netdev
	- error unwind cleanup

Fixes for donauboe for 2.6.0-test5
	- replace dev_alloc with alloc_netdev
	- error unwind cleanup

Yet another irda driver cleanup for 2.6.0-test5
	- replace dev_alloc with alloc_netdev
	- use private data allocated with alloc_netdev
	- use free_netdev

Update irda-usb for 2.6.0-test5
	- use alloc_netdev (but can't use dev->priv area cause that is allocated elsewhere).

Subject: [Kernel-janitors] [PATCH] insert missing iounmap()

Patch inserts a missing iounmap().

According to Jean the toshoboe and old smc ircc drivers are no longer needed.
This patch removes them from 2.6.0-test5

Replace busy loop nop with cpu_relax(), and just use mdelay where it's better.

Replace macro with inline and get some type checking.

I finally found some time to hack the depca driver, in basically the
same way I did with the de4x5 driver. The patch is quite big (shuffles
a lot of code around, removes lots of global variables), mainly in
order to use the driver model on every bus supported by this driver.

I also removed the probing from Space.c, so the usual warning about
device renumbering applies.

Tested on alpha (DE422, EISA) and i386 (two DE201, ISA), built-in and
modular. The MCA part is completly untested, since I lack the hardware
(no, I do not own every single piece of junk hardware out
there... ;-).

Drop support for old param struct method, and clean up code.

Fix the AMBA kmi driver which got broken when the name field was
removed from struct device.  Change the name used to claim resources
to "kmi-pl050".  Fix resume method.
