Hi,

I've attached a trivial patch for iproute2 to allow naming interfaces 
created with "ip l2tp add session".

I believe patches should go through the netdev mailing list but this 
patch is so small I figured that would just add noise. Hope that's OK.

Originally I thought I would need a bigger patch and was going to take a 
stab at implementing something like

ip l2tp add tunnel L2TP_TUNNEL_ARGS
ip link add name NAME  [ LINK_OPTS ] type l2tp L2TP_SESSION_ARGS

(a better interface IMHO) but all the code was there already, all that I 
needed to add was option parsing.

Thanks,

João Valverde

Applied thanks.
