I get the following errors when rmmodding e100 and similar errors with
other net modules . The errors seem to come from the latest addition to
drivers/base/class.c. Please reply directly as i'm on linux-net and not
on linux-kernel. thanks.

One of the -mm patches produces a warning which will be taken care of later when
all the network drivers are converted to dynamically allocating net_device's.
At that point, a massive patch will be needed that changes all instances of:
unregister_netdev(dev);
my cleanup...
kfree(dev); // becomes release_netdev(dev);
new release_netdev() will release the dev kobject at that point.
I have the code ready, just been waiting till all net device's converted.
Prefer not to break the world at this point.
