Simple one line substitution of kfree with free_netdev
for the bulk of the network drivers.

[ GregKH has already done this is USB and PCI core. ]

From: "Warren A. Layton" <zeevon@debian.org>

Based on a request from Matthew Wilcox, convert instances of
pci_dev->slot_name to use pci_name() instead:

  "In order to support PCI Domains, we have to stop using slot_name.
   It's related to driver model transition too since pci_dev->slot_name
   was redundant with pci_dev->dev.bus_id.  So I introduced the inline
   function pci_name().  Now there's about 300-400 places in the tree
   that're using slot_name which need to be converted to use pci_name().
   once that's done, we can remove the slot_name pointer in pci_dev and
   save a (void *) per pci_dev."

Fixes up drivers/net/*

it turns out the tulip driver is a much better driver for the integrated
ali1563 ethernet than the dmfe driver... the dmfe driver gets tx timeouts
every ~15s and can't receive over 5MB/s.  but with the small tulip patch
below i'm seeing 11MB/s+ in both directions without problems.

Tested with a pcmcia tulip

This patch replaces its (possessive of it) with it's (it is)
in the following cases where "it is" is meant.

its a   -> it's a
its an  -> it's an
its not -> it's not

except for the files
   arch/cris/boot/rescue/head.S
   arch/cris/kernel/kgdb.c
where the substitution is "its not" -> "it is not"
to avoid possible problems with single quotes in assembly comments.

pci_set_mwi and pci_clear_mwi.

3c59x, eepro100, sis900, and tulip.

Also, update eepro100 Becker URL.

What should be happening with the references to the discarded .text.exit
section?  I see a __devexit_p mentioned in Documentation/pci.txt, but it
hasn't been implemented except for down inside ieee1394.

In any case, I need something like the following in order to build with
pre-release binutils 2.12.  If this sort of thing is acceptible I can
prepare a more comprehensive patch.

* Add support for Conexant tulip clones.
* Do not store eeprom data on stack (128 or 512 bytes), it's a
large object, and also, we already have a copy in kmalloc'd RAM.
