I think this is a good way to attack this kind of transition.

Fix the build errors, do some testing, and please resubmit:

net/core/dev.c: In function ‘register_netdevice’:
net/core/dev.c:4075: error: ‘struct net_device_ops’ has no member named ‘poll_controller’
net/core/dev.c:4075: error: ‘struct net_device’ has no member named ‘poll_controller’
make[2]: *** [net/core/dev.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [net/core] Error 2
make: *** [net] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Thanks.
