Has this been run by the networking community?  Are they OK with this
assignment?

I did copy netdev on the original submissions, but I don't remember any explicit ack or nack.

David, any feeling yay or nay about adding these?

Is the kernel the final arbiter of AF_xxx / PF_xxx assignments, or
is there anything else we have to worry about?

Thanks,
  Roland
