Patrick McHardy 2d85cba2b2 [RTNETLINK]: rtnl_link API simplification
All drivers need to unregister their devices in the module unload function.
While doing so they must hold the rtnl and atomically unregister the
rtnl_link ops as well. This makes the rtnl_link_unregister function that
takes the rtnl itself completely useless.

Provide default newlink/dellink functions, make __rtnl_link_unregister and
rtnl_link_unregister unregister all devices with matching rtnl_link_ops and
change the existing users to take advantage of that.

/* dummy.c: a dummy net driver
The purpose of this driver is to provide a device to point a
route through, but not to actually transmit packets.
Why? If you have a machine whose only connection is an occasional
PPP/SLIP/PLIP link, you can only connect to your own hostname
when the link is up. Otherwise you have to use localhost.
This isn't very consistent.
One solution is to set up a dummy link using PPP/SLIP/PLIP,
but this seems (to me) too much overhead for too little gain.
This driver provides a small alternative. Thus you can do
[when not running slip]
ifconfig dummy slip.addr.ess.here up
[to go to slip]
ifconfig dummy down
dip whatever
This was written by looking at Donald Becker's skeleton driver
and the loopback driver. I then threw away anything that didn't
apply! Thanks to Alan Cox for the key clue on what to do with
misguided packets.
