In any case, we need a fix for this suitable for 2.6.33. If
you don't like using the pointer, please send a patch to add
an id to the network namespaces.

Right. I think the quick solution is fine for 2.6.33. So that makes the
hashtable non-resize patch, the crash fix, and the cachep bits. I will
try to get involved and help you out with the per-ns hashtable clean
rather than just being a whiner :)

This is the patch I'm going to commit unless unless there are further
objections. Its Eric's patch with a change on top to allocate a unique
name for the slab.

Thanks a bunch! Fedora kernels have already been built with this fix,
since it will allow us to close a fair number of "KVM goes boom" bugs.

Thanks as well for your help.

Patch looks fine to me for the moment, unless it *really* matters about
the pointer exposure.

Jon.
