   Looks like David converted this macro into a no-op, then moved it into
   netdevice.h.
   
   Problem is, some non-network drivers were using it too.
   
They shouldn't, it's backwards compatability crap for net drivers
only. Use explicit ->owner references elsewhere.

   Maybe we should put it back the way it was and go edit all the netdrivers?
   
Absolutely not.

Yoshfuji posted a patch on linux-kernel to fix this already.
