This is the last shoot of this series.
After I removing all directly reference of netdev->priv, I am killing
"priv" of "struct net_device" and fixing relative comments/docs.

Anyone will not be allowed to reference netdev->priv directly.
If you want to reference the memory of private data, use netdev_priv()
instead.
If the private data is not allocted when alloc_netdev(), use
netdev->ml_priv to point that memory after you creating that private
data.

The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.

Drivers need not do it any more.

Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers
were making use of the ->last_rx value themselves.

Clean up the various different email addresses of mine listed in the code
to a single current and valid address. As Dave says his network merges
for 2.6.28 are now done this seems a good point to send them in where
they won't risk disrupting real changes.

Taken from http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10577

I was unable to access a computer containing an Intel EtherExpress 16 network
card using IPv6.

I traced this to failure of neighbour discovery.  When I used an "ip -6 neigh
add" command, on the computer attempting access, to insert a binding between
the IPv6 address of the computer with the Intel EtherExpress 16 network card
and the card's ethernet address, I was able to access that computer using
IPv6.

Neighbour discovery requires working multicast.  The driver sources file
eexpress.c contains an approximately 30 line function eexp_setup_filter used
when loading multicast addresses.

I found 3 problems in this function

1) It wrote the number of multicast addresses to the card instead of the
    number of bytes in the multicast addresses.

2) When loading multiple multicast addresses it loaded the first one
    provided multiple times instead of loading each one once.

3) The setting of pointer 'data' from 'dmi->dmi_addr' occured before the
    test for the error situation of 'dmi' being NULL.

Correcting these problems allows the computer with the Intel EtherExpress 16
network card to found by IPv6 neighbour discovery.

p.s. There is some information on the Intel EtherExpress 16 at

* use irq_handler_t where appropriate

* no need to use 'irq' function arg, its already stored in a data struct

* rename irq handler 'irq' argument to 'dummy', where the function
  has been analyzed and proven not to use its first argument.

* remove always-false "dev_id == NULL" test from irq handlers

* remove pointless casts from void*

* declance: irq argument is not const

* add KERN_xxx printk prefix

* fix minor whitespace weirdness

We now have struct net_device_stats embedded in struct net_device,
and the default ->get_stats() hook does the obvious thing for us.

Run through drivers/net/* and remove the driver-local storage of
statistics, and driver-local ->get_stats() hook where applicable.

This was just the low-hanging fruit in drivers/net; plenty more drivers
remain to be updated.

It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to
remove it.  The number of people that could object because they're
maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.
