13  * Generic net pointers are to be used by modules to put some private
14  * stuff on the struct net without explicit struct net modification
15  *
16  * The rules are simple:
17  * 1. set pernet_operations->id.  After register_pernet_device you
18  *    will have the id of your private pointer.
19  * 2. set pernet_operations->size to have the code allocate and free
20  *    a private structure pointed to from struct net.
21  * 3. do not change this pointer while the net is alive;
22  * 4. do not try to have any private reference on the net_generic object.
23  *
24  * After accomplishing all of the above, the private pointer can be
25  * accessed with the net_generic() call.
