Here's an update for 2.6.0-test9.  This update adds
dev_alloc_name_lock(), which takes and releases the rtnl lock
to call dev_alloc_name(), so that the caller doesn't have to do that.

More comments?

I don't like that name for the function. dev_alloc_name_lock() makes it
natural to think that there is a matching dev_alloc_name_unlock() function
which you should call afterwards. How about dev_alloc_name_locked() or
dev_alloc_name_with_lock() instead?
