I submit the following patch against kernel 2.6.24.3 to replace
labels "addr" in /proc/net/rose_neigh and /proc/net/nr_neigh
by labels "neigh" for the display of neighbour numbers in the
first columns.

This makes the reading of proc more consistent with the labels of
/proc/net/rose_nodes and /proc/net/nr_nodes.
Finding the callsign of a given node neighbour number becomes easier.
I'm not so sure there is much value to this.
"address", "neigh", it's all about the same.

Yes, it's inconsistent in various areas, but procfs
output is like a fixed API with userspace and we generally
cannot change it without potentially breaking userspace.
