I made this change to keep checkpatch happy (it doesn't like volatile),
but the declaration of struct eth_device in include/net.h seems to want
the volatile:
int (*send) (struct eth_device*, volatile void* packet, int length);
I'd rather have a checkpatch warning than a compiler warning, so I'll fix
this in V4...
