This set tries to summarize the recent discussion of making ifindices friendly to checkpoint-restore and consists of: 1. Prepare hash function to non-unique ifindices 2. Allow for specifying the desired ifindex on net link creation 3. Make ifindex generation per-net 4. Simplify loopback device ifindex access Thanks, Pavel
