Hello, Stephen!

Namespaces are not fully implemented yet :) Right now we we have only
basic infrastructure in the mainstream and, currently, we can't even run
TCP in different namespace :( We hope this will be changed very soon.

These marks (net != &init_net) are used to
- mark places we need to modify
- ensure that we do not break initial namespace.

Regards,
	Den
