/*
* Generic net pointers are to be used by modules to put some private
* stuff on the struct net without explicit struct net modification
*
* The rules are simple:
* 1. register the ops with register_pernet_gen_device to get the id
* of your private pointer;
* 2. call net_assign_generic() to put the private data on the struct
* net (most preferably this should be done in the ->init callback
* of the ops registered);
* 3. do not change this pointer while the net is alive;
* 4. do not try to have any private reference on the net_generic object.
*
* After accomplishing all of the above, the private pointer can be
* accessed with the net_generic() call.
