Taking into account that under this scheme the hw address of the
netdevice changes, I didn't see something really better than the name,
were you thinking on some specific alternative? just saving pointer to
the netdevice seemed quite not elegant...
Or.
The netdevice ptr is the one thing that won't change. Its used in other
routing structs like dst_entry and neighbour.
