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

This patch adds the free_netdev function and associated
changes so that net_device structures are not freed until
last reference to the network device class is released.

This gets it potentially closer to working, if somebody could
just test it...

1) icmpv6_send() and icmpv6_echo_reply() never release dst.
2) ip6_{push,flush}_pending_frames() leak np->cork.rt.

1) Make sym2_template.module get setup properly.  It was
   the scsi_module.c code taking care of this for us previously.
2) Zero out on-stack structures, in particular sym_dev not being
   zeroed out was causing sometimes-boots-sometimes-doesnt problems
   for me on sparc64 with sym2 non-modular.

Based upon a patch from Herbert Xu (herbert@gondor.apana.org.au).

This should fix the MCA problems.

I moved the name field to the struct mca_device because it was in such
extensive use, and this approach caused the least impact.

Let not my fingers type in haste.

net/netsyms.c must include linux/ethtool.h, when exporting its symbols.

When writing firewall rules, and you are serving NFS, it's really
useful to know the port numbers of the various NFS services.  nfsd has
a standard value; mountd and statd are userspace daemons, and those
ports are settable on the command line.

The fiddly one is lockd.  nlm_udpport and nlm_tcpport can be set on
the kernel command line or at module load time, but after that it's a
bit awkward (particularly as the lockd module can't be unloaded safely
- "rmmod -f lockd" sometimes panics).

This patch allows the port numbers and the other lockd parameters to
be set through files in /proc/sys/fs/nfs/nlm_*.  The port numbers take
effect when lockd is next started or restarted.

In order to install the sysctl table even when compiled into the
kernel, it was necessary to update the initialisation code to the
current methods, using module_init() et al.  This patch does that and
in so doing updates the module/kernel parameters to use the 2.6
module_param() method, as well as making the numeric range changes
consistent between the two.

The largest "unsigned int" value doesn't fit in a "long", on many machines.
So we should use simple_strtoul, not simple_strtol, to decode these values.

ethtool helpers need exporting.

This will correct the sb_card compile error from removing "name" from
"struct device".

I also decided to read the name from the card structure instead of the
device structure because, for isapnp devices, the card structure is more
likely to contain an appropriate name.

Don't prepend $(obj) to "targets", since the generic rules will
do that for us, and doing it twice just makes things not work.
