If you rebuild all your kernel modules every time you build a new kernel,
this won't affect you. However, this will affect you if you use any
customer kernel modules implementing network device drivers, such as third
party device driver modules. I've changed the size of 'struct ifnet',
which requires that said drivers be recompiled.
