This patchset completes netns support, by disabling debugfs entries when not in the default name space, and correctly handling interface stack loops when the parent is in a different name space.
It additionally adds netlink support for most of the information found in debugfs, and is netns awaire.
Note: BLA is untested, so best assume it is broken...
v2:
All changes requested by Sven:
* Added lots of missing includes and structure forward declarations * Add two kernel doc comments * Fixed an obvious bug in BLA, but it is probably still broken... * Merged in the compat code Sven suggested. Only compile tested with 4.5.0
Sven: I added a SOB for some of your code. If you disagree, please so say and i will remove them.
