+ * The rules are simple:
+ * 1. register the ops with register_pernet_gen_device to get the id
+ * of your private pointer;
+ * 2. call net_assign_generic() to put the private data on the struct
+ * net (most preferably this should be done in the ->init callback
+ * of the ops registered);
+ * 3. do not change this pointer while the net is alive;
+ * 4. do not try to have any private reference on the net_generic object.
+ *
+ * After accomplishing all of the above, the private pointer can be
+ * accessed with the net_generic() call.
