Some obvious issues are: - lots of use of /proc files without setting the owner field. - still using cli/sti - no SMP locking on the linked list (which could be changed to list macros) of hardware and protocols. Just bumped into this while trying to inspect for all the last possible broken usage of net_device structure. It is too far behind to address those issues.
