Applied to net-2.6.25, but I fear you're going to need to do something
similar for ipv4, ipv6, and who knows what other protocols.  And as a
result we'll end up with all kinds of protocol specific things in the
net namespace structure which totally stinks.

Such things will need to be registered dynamically just like the
protocols themselves are into the kernel.
