Different modules want different kinds of lookup.
So, I'm thinking about something like ilookup5.

The next question: would people agree to review a patch doing this for
net_devices? :)

One not original suggestion, which did not sound nevertheless:
to implement netdev_iterate_list() or whatever, update only core
and a few of devices and deprecate dev_base_head
with __deprecated_for_modules adding it to
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt

I like this idea
