   Well, even with the original Magnus' commit that added the RPM support (bcd5149ded6b2edbf3732fa1483600a716b1cba6) it wasn't so -- sh_eth_open()
indeed seemed to re-init everything (but not TSU!) but sh_eth_get_stats()
surely didn't (the RPM calls there have been removed since); other RPM
"wrappers" have been added to the driver methods since -- which also
don't init anything... thus the comment in sh_eth_runtime_nop(() seems
to be wrong from the very start...
