Here it is. It replaces automatic constant arrays a-la

    const unsigned char Command0[6] = {0x80, 0x16, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00};

with static ones. Size difference for 32bit x86:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   5418     129       0    5547    15ab linux-2.6.inline-ALLYES/drivers/net/sb1000.o
   5396     129       0    5525    1595 linux-2.6.followup-ALLYES/drivers/net/sb1000.o
