Subject: [PATCH 1/14][NETNS]: Introduce the net-subsys id generator.

From: Pavel Emelyanov <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2008 19:01:09 +0400

To make some per-net generic pointers, we need some way to
address them, i.e. - IDs. This is simple IDA-based IDs
generator for pernet subsystems. They will be used in the
next patches.

Since it will be used by devices only (tun and vlan), I make
it resemble the register_pernet_device functionality.

The new ids is stored in the *id pointer _before_ calling the
init callback to make this id available in this callback.
