For janitors and other developers placing this in net drivers...
please don't :) This can be done in upper layers, accomplishing the
same goal without changing the low-level net driver code at all.

Don't say something can be done without showing exactly
how :-)

How does register_netdevice() know that the device is "whatever" and
where to get the generic device struct from?
