respin of __dev* removal patches

I've got a respin of the hotplug removal patches for the networking
subsystem.  I don't want to irritate you like the big patch set did,
so before I submit them, what do you want to see that will keep your
pain to a minimum?

I've redone them so that all the __dev* removals are done at once so
there won't be one patch for __devinit, one for __devexit, etc.  I've
also broken them down into chunks following what's in the MAINTAINERS
file.  The result is 103 patches.

As that's a lot of patches to handle through patchwork, would it be
easier for the network maintainers for me to just put these in a tree
they can pull from?  I will base it off of net-next.

That might work.
