Once all of the conversions are done, we can happily move
this someone. My personal preference would be net/core/dev.c,
as I believe we can limit all of the modifications to there
eventually and thus not have to export those two symbols to
the entire kernel any more.
The fact that we export the list and it's locking makes it
really hard to change things.
