Hmm.  And just so noone has any preconceived notions that I've done a lot 
of testing on this change (even though I haven't crashed yet):

Note that both pci_scan and rtl8139 are marked as "unsafe".  Since I just 
went for compile-and-insmod, I obviously haven't made other substantive 
changes that would be required of a fully-ported 2.6.x module.
