Christophe, I think now we need to use new call "alloc_netdev(...)", to allocate "net_device" data structure. If we do this, NETIF_F_DYNALLOC flag is not required, and that might be the reason for this flag is removed/nomore supported. Earlier, people might be using "kmalloc()" or global memory to allocate net_device data structures. So this flag is necessary to inform free_netdevice() routine about how to free it. Thanks Suren.
