Cover letter [PATCH 0/3] move hardware header functions out of netdevice

The follow patches series starts the process of moving function pointers out of network device structure. This saves space and separates code from data.

The first step is moving the functions dealing with hardware headers.

Patches are against current net-2.6.24 tree. Basic functional testing on ethernet part, not on all the other protocols affected.
