I would prefer to fix the drivers _before_ anything else. i.e. Phase 2
becomes Phase 1.
These often need to be merged into 2.4 as well, and they can be applied
to all drivers without any API changes. The changes are separated out
from any refcounting/sysfs stuff, and can (potentially) be considered
and reviewed by the respective maintainers.
Have you extracted out all the init_etherdev() killings Al and
myself did so you can backport them to 2.4.x too?
If you're not going to do that, there is not much point in trying to
sync other such things back to 2.4.x as well.
