Is there a chance we could have a single file driver - may be with a .h for
the registers layout ? It should be less than 200kbytes, especially if
forward declarations go away.
rx_ring.fbr{0, 1} can probably share a common structure.
Use of kmem_cache seems a bit unusual.
Use dma_alloc_... in place of pci_alloc_...
It's too late stopping the tx queue when there is no room for the current
packet. The condition should be detected for the next packet.
PCI_VDEVICE would not hurt.
My 0.02 â (whatever the CDS spread).
