Well, we had a discussion with Jakub, and he kind of indicated that he'd
like to see a bit more generic prefixes to clarify things.

We've kind of been early adopters to try it out and see what it looks
like, he hasn't pushed it and wanted to have a discussion (e.g. at LPC
or netdevconf) about it first, but it kind of makes sense since not
everyone can know all the different drivers and components.

I have been supposed to document this in the wiki and announce it
properly, but as usual I was too busy before the vacation to do
anything. And now I'm on vacation and trying to enjoy the 13 C of
"warmth" here in Finland :D
