Hi, Dave.

Is this anything close to what needs to be done? It's not without
failures, because the function mace_set_timeout receives a pointer to a
struct net_device, but is marked inline and is used by mace_tx_timeout,
which receives an unsigned long (which calls mace_set_timeout).

Perhaps it would be a case of removing the inline hint to the compiler?
I guess that BenH or Paul could comment here better...
