The documentation for the USB ethernet devices suggests that
only some devices are supposed to use usb0 as the network interface
name instead of eth0. The logic used there, and documented in
Kconfig for CDC is that eth0 will be used when the mac address
is a globally assigned one, but usb0 is used for the locally
managed range that is typically used on point-to-point links.
Unfortunately, this has caused a lot of pain on the smsc95xx
device that is used on the popular pandaboard without an
EEPROM to store the MAC address, which causes the driver to
call random_ether_address().
Obviously, there should be a proper MAC addressed assigned to
the device, and discussions are ongoing about how to solve
this, but this patch at least makes sure that the default
interface naming gets a little saner and matches what the
user can expect based on the documentation, including for
new devices.
The approach taken here is to flag whether a device might be a
point-to-point link with the new FLAG_POINTTOPOINT setting in
the usbnet driver_info. A driver can set both FLAG_POINTTOPOINT
and FLAG_ETHER if it is not sure (e.g. cdc_ether), or just one
of the two. The usbnet framework only looks at the MAC address
for device naming if both flags are set, otherwise it trusts the
flag.

The host-side CDC subset driver is binding more specifically
than it should ... only to PXA 210/25x/26x Linux-USB gadgets.
Loosen that restriction to match the gadget driver driver.
This will various PXA 27x and PXA 3xx devices happier when
talking to Linux hosts, potentially others.

this config:
http://redhat.com/~mingo/misc/config-Wed_Apr_30_15_12_48_CEST_2008.bad
fails to build due to an #error. Turn that into a #warning instead
to not break randconfig builds unnecessarily.

Move headers usbnet.h and rndis_host.h to include/linux/usb and fix includes
for drivers/net/usb modules. Headers are moved because rndis_wlan will be
outside drivers/net/usb in drivers/net/wireless and yet need these headers.

It is preferable to group drivers by usage (net, scsi, ATA, ...) than
by bus. When reviewing drivers, the [PCI|USB|PCMCIA|...] maintainer
is probably less qualified on networking issues than a networking
maintainer. Also, from a practical standpoint, chips often
appear on multiple buses, which is why we do not put drivers into
drivers/pci/net.
