It's current exposed only through /proc which besides requiring
screen-scraping doesn't allow userspace to distinguish between two
identical ATM adapters with different ATM indexes.  The ATM device index
is required when using PPPoATM on a system with multiple ATM adapters.

PS: -> stable too since it's a minimal change with no backwards
incompatibility and I'd like to rely on this attribute in NetworkManager
