Call register_netdevice_notifier to register a listener. Catch the
NETDEV_REGISTER/NETDEV_UNREGISTER or NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_DOWN events. You can
create the listener at any time and you will receive the REGISTER+UP events,
even if the devices have been up very long. If you want to maintain a
reference to struct net_device, do not forget to call dev_hold and dev_put.
