Subject: [PATCH net v2 0/8] forcedeth: minor fixes for stats, rmmod, sparse

Here is the v2 of a forcedeth patch series I sent a few months
ago (... May).

Changes since v1:
 - rebased on top of netdev tip
 - do not repeat name of device in netdev_dbg
 - do not completely mute TX timeout messages when debug_tx_timeout is
   not set
 - make debug_tx_timeout writable in /sys/module

I am re-submitting "expose module parameters in /sys/module" as it can
be useful in production and I was assured it doesn't add much memory
overhead by the sysfs maintainers.

Tested:
  16-way x86_64 SMP, dual forcedeth
