This will expose in /sys whether the ifname of a device is set by userspace
or generated by the kernel. The latter kind (wlanX, etc) is not deterministic,
so userspace needs to rename these devices to names that are guaranteed to
stay the same between reboots. The former, however should never be renamed,
so userspace needs to be able to reliably tell the difference.
Similar functionality was introduced for the rtnetlink core in commit 5517750.

Hi Johannes,
This patch was originally part of a bigger series from last year, but I decided
to split it out and resend it alone. You had a comment back then about using
enums instead of unsigned char in the method signatures. Both sound fine to me,
but I opted for keeping unsigned char for the sake of uniformity with the similar
code in the core.
If this looks ok to you, could you take it through the wireless tree, or do you
want me to resend it to Dave directly?
Cheers,
Tom
