I know that we can't support multiple lowpan interfaces on a single wpan
at this time.  If one could, via a macvlan like way, would we want to
put different lowpan interfaces in different netns on top of the same
physical radio.

I'm also ignorant here: can one create macvlan against a physical interface
into a netns?
