From: Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
Doing this makes loopback.c a better example of how to do a
simple network device, and it removes the special case
single static allocation of a struct net_device, hopefully
making maintenance easier.
Applies against net-2.6.24
Tested on i386, x86_64
Compiled on ia64, sparc
