This lets you select hwdb support at compile time.
hwdb is an efficient hardware database shipped with recent versions of udev. It

among other sources pci.ids so querying hwdb rather than reading pci.ids

the same result.
Ideally Linux distros using udev could stop

The main use-case is to allow udev to skip applying reliable ifnames to
virtual

- introduce a new assign type NET_NAME_PREDICTABLE to indicate to
userspace that the kernel-assigned names are well-behaved.
Tom Gundersen (33):
net: add name_assign_type netdev attribute
net: set name assign type for renamed devices
net: set name_assign_type
Such names should be NET_NAME_USER, in case the emptystring is given we
fallback to an enumerated name.
