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