names. Add "dev" pointer in struct net_device to tie network interfaces back to a hardware device. Force natural alignment of data types in __table() macros. This seems to prevent gcc from taking the unilateral decision to occasionally increase their alignment (which screws up the table packing).

* Background protocols

|
* Some protocols (e.g. ARP, IGMP) operate in the background; the
|
|
* upper layers are not aware of their operation. When an ARP query
|
|
* for the local station's IP address arrives, Etherboot must reply to
|
|
* it regardless of what other operations are currently in progress.
|
|
*
|
|
* Background protocols are called in two circumstances: when
|
|
* Etherboot is about to poll for a packet, and when Etherboot has
|
|
* received a packet that the upper layer (whatever that may currently
|
|
* be) isn't interested in.
