Greg, could you please add this fix of NULL pointer dereference.
The driver is broken in 2.6.30 and 2.6.31, but since you do not
support 2.6.30 anymore,
let it be in 2.6.31 only.

    Au1x00: fix crash when trying register_netdev()

    Andreas Lohre reported that the driver crashes when trying
    to register_netdev(), he sugessted to move dev->netdev_ops initialization
    before calling register_netdev(), it worked for him.
