Hi Dave, please apply a first batch of qeth patches for net-next, primarily touching the net_device parts of the driver. In addition to the usual refactoring & code consolidation, patch 7 makes use of netif_device_detach() to let the stack know when our control plane is down. This helps quite a bit wrt to overall locking and proper init/shutdown sequencing.
