Note that a good chunk of the if_id stuff in the api was just brain damage
from the ERP info changes. Anywhere we have access to a skb, we have access
to a netdev, and we don't need an extra if_id argument to tell us what we
need to know. I would love to see that get fixed first as that simplifies all
drivers.
Having said that, a per-interface private area for drivers is a great idea if
drivers need it. They probably do.
