[PATCH] [REPOST] Add ability to register class interfaces for network class

[Timo Teräs <ext-timo.teras@nokia.com>]

Hi,

I'm reposting this patch since I haven't heard anything from you for a while. 
I'd like to at least get some feedback whether this is considered a good or 
bad thing.

See my earlier post why I want this patch in 
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-net&m=109758592121767&w=2).

-- Original post --
Add functions to register class interfaces for network class.
Similar to the ones found in scsi subsystem.
