   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?
