Subject: [net-next-2.6 v2 13/15] ixgbe: cleanup namespace complaint by removing little used function

From: Don Skidmore <donald.c.skidmore@...el.com>

We had a support function that just walked a few pointers to get
from the ixgbe_hw struct to the netdev pointer.  This was causing
a namespace warning so I removed it and just reference the pointers
directly.
