Thanks for working towards reducing struct net_device, that's awesome!

Wrt this patch, I'm wondering if that couldn't be pushed down into
struct e1000_adapter entirely?

Looks like e1000e is the only user of this, would save every other
net_device 8 more bytes:

$ git grep -n "\->pm_qos_req" drivers/net/
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c:3300:                pm_qos_update_request(&adapter->netdev->pm_qos_req, lat);
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c:3302:                pm_qos_update_request(&adapter->netdev->pm_qos_req,
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c:4406:        pm_qos_add_request(&adapter->netdev->pm_qos_req, PM_QOS_CPU_DMA_LATENCY,
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c:4517:        pm_qos_remove_request(&adapter->netdev->pm_qos_req);

Thanks,
Daniel
