Where is the _real_ advantage if setsockopt(IP_TOS) where a privileged
operation? At the end the user/service is still required to set his service
class, but this time with CAP_NET_ADMIN. Do you think that Service
Providers/Transit Providers trust (and this is the critical aspect) customers
based on some IP flags - this is extreme unlikely. 99% of users have
effective CAP_NET_ADMIN capabilities - and you cannot stop using them.
Service Providers/Transit Providers will trust customers who pays more and
then they will accept their DIFFSERV suggestion signaled via IP DSCP. All
other customers will be treated normal, with zeroed DSCP. It makes no sense
for ISP's to shift the trust aspect to the customer side.

Ok, I'm not to happy about this one, to be honest.
Conditional locking is always a problem waiting to happen.
Question: What context can you call mdiobus_lock() in?
Answer: You absolutely cannot know.
Therefore every piece of code, except those with special knowledge
of what kind of device is behind the mdiobus object, have to assume
the worst which is that the interface can only be called in sleepable
contexts.
We need to find another way to accomodate this, I really don't want to
see this kind of situation where the locking facility type is
conditional upon the device sitting behind the interface.
