It is obviously not the former.  I think that in general constant and 
other definitions (in their majority) should be in a header file.  I 
definitely like this way better.

Perhaps in this particular case my patch is a bit of an overkill as the 
code lines aren't that many.  If the consensus is in this direction i'll 
revert this part of the series.
I don't mind the later even if it does not exactly apply to a
WIP driver. I'd still avoid future copycat followers though.
This isn't WIP anymore as the W(ork) part is missing.  After so many quiet 
years i assume the experimental tag should be removed.
The rtl8150.h file is created in patch #2. This is patch #1.

So...
So first apply patch #1 and then patch #2.

However, if it is required for the driver to be in build-able form after 
applying any single patch i'll coalesce #1 and #2 before next submission.
