Hi Stephen,
I went back and looked at the comment in 2.4 for when alloc_etherdev
was introduced, but clearly I got the mapping of this to the 2.4.x
release dates wrong. That was my bad.
As for local_irq_save() those patches will still be needed if they are
not present in 2.4.17 (I think this is probably a reasonable cut-off
release), if it's in 2.4.17+ I'll agree we can pull it.
But the irqreturn_t compat stuff still needs to go in since it's
clearly not going to be present in 2.4.18 etc.
Cheers,
Jes
