The initialization of an net_device object should be done in the
init/constructor function and not from the outside after the
register_netdevice was done to avoid race conditions.

This patchset seems to be similar. Shouldn't it have been part of
3.8-rc1 or got rejected? Neither of it happened in the last month

It was discussed and a decision was made. Please read all mails in this
thread before making noise.

What decision? I only see something about Patch 6 and Patch 7: Antonio

any other statement about the rest of the patchset.

Anyway, I discussed about this together with the others and it seems
that a proper solution now is to wait before merging this patchset and fix the
current sysfs/rtnl_lock problem first. What do you think?

Adding a new API without fixing the current one doesn't sound like a good 
move.

What isn't clear ?
