Is there a reason why you're still doing the "allocate n devices
on init" thing instead of using the rtnl_link API?

Sorry, it's simply a matter of time.  We have been extremely busy with
other projects and two presentations (mgmt, customers, and press) the
last two weeks and have worked on the other changes this week.  I'm
sorry I haven't yet been able to look at your rtnl_link code close
enough, but it's definitely on my todo list.  Starting on Sunday I'll
be on a business trip to .jp for a week, and I hope I get to it in
that week, otherwise on return.

Sorry, but busy is no reason for merging code that has deprecated
(at least by me :)) behaviour. Please change this before submitting
for inclusion.
