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