Please include comments such as the above quoted /below/ the "---" 
terminator.

The git merge scripts copy everything preceding "---" directly into the 
kernel changelog.  Everything following "---", except the patch itself, 
is ignored by the automated tools.

Please remove NETXEN_NIC_BUILD_NO, it is incompatible with Linux kernel 
development.  People who modify the kernel API, and then update drivers 
for that new API, will likely not bother with updating this variable, 
making it largely useless in practice.
