The overall consensus at this year's Linux Kernel Summit was that this 
driver still needs a lot of cleanup, so I'm gonna try an experiment and 
stick this in the staging tree (currently jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git#benet).

Greg, do I need to do anything beyond simply putting it into the 
directory?  Do I need to add some code to taint, perhaps?
