Getting that "eth0_rename" stuff is not something unchangeably imposed
by the kernel. I think this should be considered an udev bug most of all
things, since if the udev scripts did it right, this wouldn't happen. A
"right" way to do this would for example be to first rename all devices
to "tmpwhatever0", then rename them back to their proper ethX names.

Now I don't know even a single bit about udev scripting, so maybe this
isn't possible with the current udev infrastructure, but there's
certainly no kernel part stopping a proper implementation.

Btw, what happened to nameif(8)? It's totally outdated (and deprecated I
guess?), but it got the job done...
