[openib-general] [PATCH RFC 8/31] net: Make /sys/class/net handle multiple network namespaces

[Eric W. Biederman]

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm at xmission.com> - unquoted

In combination with the sysfs support I am in the process of merging
with gregkh, creates a separate instance of the /sys/class/net directory
for each network namespace so two devices with the same name do not conflict.
Then a network namespace sensitive follow link method on the /sys/class/net
directory ensures that you see the directory instance for your current network
namespace.

Ensuring all existing applications continue to see what we is currently
present in sysfs.
