The implementation is for char device node solution we proposed earlier.
It would be extended to handle the current proposal if it is acceptable.
For the record: I still dont like the idea to add another namespace (besides
interface index number and kernel names (possibly renamed)) to network
devices (especially in usermode), however if nobody else objects I will keep
quiet and accept the patches.

I am less than enthusiastic about the idea as well. I've come across numerous userspace scripts and whatnot that have enough trouble with the default route not being through "eth0" let alone anything more complex. Aliases are going to cause a lot of problems for a lot of people for little actual gain.
