The main short coming of using multiple network namespaces today
is that only network devices for the primary network namespaces
can be put in the kobject layer and sysfs.
This is essentially the earlier version of this patchset that was
reviewed before, just now on top of a version of sysfs that doesn't
need cleanup patches to support it.
I have been running these patches in some form for well over a
year so the basics should at least be solid.
This patchset is currently against 2.6.34-rc1.
This patchset is just the basic infrastructure a couple of more pretty
trivial patches are needed to actually enable network namespaces to use this.
My current plan is to send those after these patches have made it through
review.
Thanks very much for keeping this going, Eric! I'm going to keep
looking through the code some more, but so far I see no problems.

to the full patchset. I'm really hoping you'll also include the
patch to implement the netns support (i.e. basically commit
fdc0adeaa8bfab9a179e1eb349cab400ddb70403 that you sent inline this
morning to Tejun).
One step at a time. My goal is to have it all send out and reviewed
in time for 2.6.35.
