Can we register empty notifiers in nsim (just to make sure it has 
a callback) but do the validation in rtnl_net_debug.c
I guess we'd need to transform rtnl_net_debug.c a little,
make it less rtnl specific, compile under DEBUG_NET and ifdef
out the small rtnl parts?  

s/rtnl_net_debug.c/notifiers_debug.c/ + DEBUG_NET? Or I can keep the
name and only do the DEBUG_NET part. 

I was thinking lock or locking as in net/core/lock_debug.c

Maybe lock.c (or netdev_lock.c like netdev_lock.h) and move all
locking stuff (netdev_lock_type[], netdev_lock_pos(), etc) there
later + ifdef where necessary ?

That might work as well, but will require move moving. Maybe I can
start with s/rtnl_net_debug.c/lock.c/ and the we can move the other
stuff separately?
