Going over using KNI with netvsc, saw lots of remove
for improvment (deleting code).
This is still mostly "putting lipstick on a pig" all users
would be better off using virtio_user rather than KNI.
Stephen Hemminger (9):
kni: don't need stubs for rx_mode or ioctl
kni: use netdev_alloc_skb
kni: drop unused field
kni: don't keep stats in kni_net
kni: drop unused group_id and device_id
kni: drop unused status element
kni: use proper type for kni fifo's
kni: return -EFAULT if copy_from_user fails
doc: update KNI documentation
