This patch allows you to use ATA Over Ethernet as your root device,
with 'root=/dev/etherd/eX.Y/disc'
Limited testing, just for ya'lls review.

or y'alls
Please make patches against 2.6.12-rcX, not against 2.6.11.z.
(probably doesn't matter in this case)
+struct aoedev *
+aoedev_bymajor_minor(ulong major, ulong minor)

Kernel preferred style is not to split the function definition line.

Lose the ifdef/endif. Don't make #includes conditional.

Did you mean to leave these printk()s here?
I think not, but if so, they need a KERN_ level, like KERN_INFO.
It would help readability if you would add some spaces around
'=', after commas, etc., in places like these:
+ for (d=devlist; d; d=d->next)
and
+ } while (!aoedev_bymajor_minor(CONFIG_ATA_OVER_ETH_ROOT_SHELF,CONFIG_ATA_OVER_ETH_ROOT_SLOT));
and
+ aoe_root(CONFIG_ATA_OVER_ETH_ROOT_SHELF,CONFIG_ATA_OVER_ETH_ROOT_SLOT);
Thanks.
