sbni.c in 2.6.0-test5 fails to compile with gcc 3.3 with the following
error:

drivers/net/wan/sbni.c: In function `calc_crc32':

Below is the patch by Margit Schubert-White to fix this issue (it is
already in 2.4).

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.
