The driver was removed last year, but the static initialization got left
behind by accident.

Thanks, do we even need to have the static initialization anymore?

I actually did some more cleanups after I sent the above patch when
I found out that this code still exists. It turned out that above half of
the static initializations are completely pointless because the
drivers never rely on the netdev= command line arguments and
can simply be changed to always using module_init() instead of
relying on net_olddevs_init() for the built-in case.
The remaining ones are all ISA drivers: 3c515, Ultra, WD80x3,
NE2000, Lance, SMC9194, CS89x0, NI65 and COPS.
With my cleanups, I move the netdev_boot_setup infrastructure
into drivers/net/Space.c and only compile it when at least one of
these eight drivers is enabled.
All these drivers also support being built as loadable modules, but
in that configuration they only support a single device (back in the
day you could copy the module and just load it twice to support
more than one instance, not sure we still want to support that).
None of these drivers have a maintainer listed, but I suppose
there are still some PC/104 machines with NE2000 network
cards that could theoretically run a modern kernel.
