Subject: [PATCH] drivers/net/{ne,smc-ultra}.c: Avoid compilation warnings by
 registering init and exit functions

  This patch is against 2.6.17-11.
1) Meant to get rid of the following compilation warnings
         WARNING: drivers/net/ne.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'init_module' (at offset 0xeb) and 'ne_close'
         WARNING: drivers/net/smc-ultra.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:ultra_portlist from .text between 'init_module' (at offset 0xa4) and 'ultra_close_card'

2) Isn't the registration of a module's __init and __exit functions while making them
    static much encouraged in 2.6? I followed the Linux Device Drivers book.
