network namespace, netlink and sysfs changes for iSCSI (Re: [PATCH 0/9] use network namespace for iSCSI control interfaces)

Hello,

I have this set of changes to the iSCSI control interfaces pending
review, but seeing as it's sysfs and netlink changes there's not a lot
of feedback from linux-scsi.

I was hoping I could get a brief review on the adding of network
namespace support here.

Thank you,
Chris
