Warning messages coming from rtl8150 driver can flood the console
and make a DTV/set-top-box unable to decode video/audio frames.
'Pegasus' driver handles this situation similarly, preventing this
from happening there.
It happens with a low cost BCM MIPS embedded platform, whenever
timeout errors were coming from usbnet device, making platform
unusable for viewer watching.

USB is going to switch the signature of the callbacks to
void callback(struct urb *urb, int status)
This patch will ease the transition.

USB should not be having it's own printk macros, so remove info() and
use the system-wide standard of dev_info() wherever possible.

USB should not be having it's own printk macros, so remove warn() and
use the system-wide standard of dev_warn() wherever possible. In the
few places that will not work out, use a basic printk().

The RTL8150 driver uses an MTU of 1540 by default, which causes a
bunch of problems -- it prevents booting from NFS root, for one.

It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to
remove it. The number of people that could object because they're
maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.

This patch covers something like this:
dev = alloc_*dev(...
...
priv = netdev_priv(dev);
memset(priv, 0, sizeof(*priv));
The memset() here is superfluous. alloc_netdev() uses kzalloc()
to allocate needed memory so there is no need to zero the priv region
twice.

It is preferable to group drivers by usage (net, scsi, ATA, ...) than
by bus. When reviewing drivers, the [PCI|USB|PCMCIA|...] maintainer
is probably less qualified on networking issues than a networking
maintainer. Also, from a practical standpoint, chips often
appear on multiple buses, which is why we do not put drivers into
drivers/pci/net.
