Stephen Hemminger 0b815a1a6d net: network device name ifalias support
This patch add support for keeping an additional character alias
associated with an network interface. This is useful for maintaining
the SNMP ifAlias value which is a user defined value. Routers use this
to hold information like which circuit or line it is connected to. It
is just an arbitrary text label on the network device.

There are two exposed interfaces with this patch, the value can be
read/written either via netlink or sysfs.

This could be maintained just by the snmp daemon, but it is more
generally useful for other management tools, and the kernel is good
place to act as an agreed upon interface to store it.

/* ifi_flags.
IFF_* flags.
The only change is:
IFF_LOOPBACK, IFF_BROADCAST and IFF_POINTOPOINT are
more not changeable by user. They describe link media
characteristics and set by device driver.
Comments:
- Combination IFF_BROADCAST|IFF_POINTOPOINT is invalid
- If neither of these three flags are set;
the interface is NBMA.
- IFF_MULTICAST does not mean anything special:
multicasts can be used on all not-NBMA links.
IFF_MULTICAST means that this media uses special encapsulation
for multicast frames. Apparently, all IFF_POINTOPOINT and
IFF_BROADCAST devices are able to use multicasts too.

/* IFLA_LINK.
For usual devices it is equal ifi_index.
If it is a "virtual interface" (f.e. tunnel), ifi_link
can point to real physical interface (f.e. for bandwidth calculations),
or maybe 0, what means, that real media is unknown (usual
for IPIP tunnels, when route to endpoint is allowed to change)
