[git patch] net driver fix

[Jeff Garzik]

As the patch indicates, the Al Viro patch had already been merged into
my history (and another branch depending on it, making rebasing
difficult if not impossible), but since it was merged by Linus, the
actual patch isn't shown here by 'git diff'.

Please pull from 'upstream-linus' branch of
master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git upstream-linus
