The problem.  When implementing a network namespace I need to be able
to have multiple network devices with the same name.  Currently this
is a problem for /sys/class/net/*, /sys/devices/virtual/net/*, and
potentially a few other directories of the form /sys/ ... /net/*.

I applied the patches up to here (well, patch 8 was no longer needed at
all anymore), but this one doesn't apply at all.

Care to respin these last few patches?

Sounds like a plan.

Looks like we are just talking about the driver core patches so while a pain
it actually should not be too hard.

I will get a copy of your gregkh tree from kernel.org tomorrow and see
what I can do.
