Perhaps others would disagree but can we make this a pointer instead?
Only allocate it on demand, when first PHY gets attached?
Both saves space and netdevice.h will no longer need to know the
definition of the struct.

Complete noob question but I thought PHYs get attached at ndo_open
time for drivers, don't they? We shouldn't want to re-ID in that case.

I think you're missing a call to xa_destroy() somewhere, no?
