This is what is wrong with a lot of the new code. It is written as
verbose as possible.

What is wrong with open coded
    hw->dev_spec = kzalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL).

nothing, I'll make sure that we change this. Please remember that this code was written over a period of about 1 year, and a lot of cleanups that happened in other parts of e1000 may very well have been overlooked. Also, it may be "ugly" but it's definately not wrong at all.

Almost looks like you contracted this out to someone paid by the LOC.

will fix, thanks for the comments.
