Subject: [PATCH] net: shrink struct net_device by #ifdef-ing protocol-specific members

From: Lucian Adrian Grijincu <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2009 16:38:23 +0300

Some members of net_device are used only by some protocols.

If those protocols are not compiled (as modules or linked in) they
should not take up space in the structure.

These members are also used in inline functions defined in headers not
protected by the protocol-specific CONFIG_ guards. Adding #ifdef CONFIG_*
guards header wide is against the current style and more invasive than
guarding only the definitions.
