There are some pointers, that are used in protocols/drivers/etc
in this struct. E.g. br_port, macvlan_port, ec_ptr, etc. Some of
them can be simply compile out with ifdefs, some require a bit
closer look.
Here's the summary:
Compiled out in this set with appropriate ifdef:
* br_port
* macvlan_port
* dn_ptr
* ec_ptr
* ax25_ptr
Require a closer look:
* atalk_ptr is shared with irda with "should we get our own
field?" comment;
* ip_ptr and
* ip6_ptr are used in headers and gcc complains when trying
to compile net/socket.c that these fields are unreclared;
* ieee80211_ptr is used in many wireless drivers. Need time
to check for the config dependencies.
