Can you instead change the allocation to be alloc_netdev instead of
just a plain old kzalloc. That will fix the problem in a much
more forward compatible way. The current code is also going to
have problems with dynamically sized array at the end of struct
net_device.
You ought to also be able to make the allocation unconditional
as that function only has one caller and it does not pass in
a struct net_device.
