Nifty, I'll take a look at this.

Just FWIW I'm not gonna apply these... for the 'proc' patch, that either 
needs to be moved to ethtool, or we should make a filesystem for net 
drivers that exports procfs-like inodes.  for the 'mips' patch, it looks 
like the arch maintainer(s) need to fix the PCI DMA support...
