Ok, now we have a stinking pile of poo situation when one tries to
compile the velocity driver without CONFIG_PM defined.

First we hit:

drivers/net/via-velocity.c: In function ‘velocity_init_module’:
drivers/net/via-velocity.c:3303: error: implicit declaration of function ‘velocity_register_notifier’
drivers/net/via-velocity.c:3306: error: implicit declaration of function ‘velocity_unregister_notifier’

Because the whole CONFIG_PM + CONFIG_INET ifdeffery around these functions
was missed up.  Simple enough to fix, but then we get:

drivers/net/via-velocity.c:2957: warning: ‘velocity_suspend’ defined but not used
drivers/net/via-velocity.c:3026: warning: ‘velocity_resume’ defined but not used

Fine, let's ifdef protect these two functions with CONFIG_PM:

drivers/net/via-velocity.c:2853: warning: ‘velocity_set_wol’ defined but not used
drivers/net/via-velocity.c:2939: warning: ‘velocity_save_context’ defined but not used
drivers/net/via-velocity.c:3001: warning: ‘velocity_restore_context’ defined but not used

And at this point I really give up Dave.  This whole thing to move
functions around to avoid forward decls has created a worse problem
than it solved.

Unless you can fix this, like, immediately.  I want to revert.

This is keeping me from pulling more work into my net-next-2.6
tree.
