Re: [RFC] Alternative hidden netwirk device interface

Change to allow register_netdevice() to be called with a blank name.
If name is blank, it is not put in name hash list, and doesn't
show up in /sys or /proc

Compile tested only...

I have no objections to this.

It would be nice to wrap the hlist_unhashed() test around
a well named inline function, such as "netdev_hidden()" or
similar.

With that minor enhancement, and a nice changelog (including
a description of what this would be used for), I'll happily
merge this during the next merge window.

Thanks Stephen.
