Yes, and in the future, documentation of this will be available here: Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt Right now is only available via net-next: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git/tree/Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt or https://lwn.net/Articles/559211/ Guess, we should add a pointer to this new doc from Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt once it hits Linus'es tree.
