Done.  The enclosed patch works with v2.6.0-test6-bk8.

I would like to see it in v2.6 because it's in demand now [1] and its
impact is negligible on drivers that don't use it [2].

[1] Scott Feldman has indicated that he wants to incorporate netdev_*
calls into the e1000 driver (along the lines of the patches we published
previously) and the e100-3.0.0 driver (where the only change needed is
a redefinition of that driver's DPRINTK macro).

[2] For drivers that haven't converted to netdev_*, no changes are
needed.  struct net_device grows a bit (adding the msg_enable member),
but a driver that has a msg_enable member in its private struct can
continue to use it.
