Subject: [RFC] vlan: add sysfs support

From: Stephen Hemminger <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 1 May 2006 14:08:34 -0700

Add basic sysfs support for vlan device. It creates an entry in the
vlan pseudo-device to display tag.  
	/sys/class/net/eth0.5/vlan_id

It would be nice at some future to have something like:
	/sys/class/net/eth0/tags/5  -> ../../eth0.5
as well.

There is a race with udev though. The sysfs entry can't be created
until after the the class_device is registered but the registration
doesn't happen until  rtnl_unlock after register_netdevice. The class_device
registration causes the hotplug event, so the hotplug user program
might get there before vlan_id is created.
