I guess that's a good thing, but it also breaks these:

drivers/staging/wlags49_h2/wl_internal.h:#ifdef HAVE_NETDEV_PRIV
drivers/net/cxgb4vf/cxgb4vf_main.c:#ifdef HAVE_NET_DEVICE_OPS
drivers/staging/ft1000/ft1000-usb/ft1000_hw.c:#ifdef HAVE_NET_DEVICE_OPS
net/batman-adv/soft-interface.c:#ifdef HAVE_NET_DEVICE_OPS
