Please provide a compat macro for 2.4.18 and younger as well.
How actively are you maintaining acenic. Jes? :-) This is
a very serious question, I haven't seen a 2.5.x change go back
to 2.4.x since it's inception.
All this compat nonsense is becoming useless. Other drivers
fair just fine 2.4.x/2.5.x without all this ifdef mumbo-jumbo
that litters acenic.c and makes it nearly impossible to read.
In fact all these localized compat macros make acenic.c HARDER
to maintain.
