As much as I would like to make a clean break, you just can't do this Christoph. There is so much out of tree code that we will unfairly break by doing this. Add a new name, schedule dev_alloc_skb for a 6 month removal, and convert as much of the in-tree uses as you like. Mark dev_alloc_skb deprecated while you're at it. This is consistent with how we handle any other widely used interface in the kernel. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
