Hi,

with kernels >= 2.1.15 dev_kfree_skb() is just an alias for kfree_skb().

Should network device drivers continue to use the dev_kfree_skb() interface
(because it will be re-implemented differently in future)?

If the answer is 'NO', it might be a good idea to replace all occurences
of dev_kfree_skb() by kfree_skb() now because old drivers need to be adapted
for the 2.1.86 kfree_skb() changes anyway. (I'd take care of creating the
patch if needed)
