- move the networking core's facilities to build the default name of
an interface into lib/
- expand it to optionally use base-26 numbering (a...nn...zzz) as
alternative to decimal numbering
- let SCSI low-level drivers optionally provide a short constant
string, resembling its transport name, in the host template or
transport template
- let SCSI high-level driver make use of the new naming functions in
lib/, providing either just "sd", "sr" etc. or "sd-$transport-" as
name prefix
No patch yet, and alas I'm currently short of spare time.
