I still think this is beyond ugly.

This ifdef just wants to die completely.  It serves no real
purpose as every distribution vendor that turns on your driver
will turn CNIC on as well.

And you have to address the lost of const'ness of the netdevice ops.
If you absolutely must have runtime method choices, you must use
multiple instances of netdevice ops and assign the appropriate one.
