Splitting out / eliminating ioctl pass-thry in general seems like 
a nice clean up. How did you get the ndo_eth_ioctl patch done, was

Dunno if you want to dig into removal with a series like this, 
anything using ioctls will be pretty old (with the exception 
of what you separated into ndo_eth_ioctl). You may get bogged 
down.
