from viro NE19-3c507
	* switched 3c507 to dynamic allocation
	* 3c507: embedded ->priv
	* 3c507: fixed clobbering on autoprobe
	* NB: 3c507.c buggers port 0x100 without claiming it.  Most likely it
	  should be doing request_region() there.
Additional:
	* fix port probing loop and correct error return on no device
	* add free_netdev
