/*
 * 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.
