This series allows PPP devices to reside in a different netns from the PPP unit/channels. Packets only cross netns boundaries when they're transmitted between the net_device and the PPP unit (units and channels always remain in their creation namespace). So only PPP units need to handle cross namespace operations. Channels and lower layer protocols aren't affected.
Patch #1 is a bug fix for an existing namespace deletion bug and has been separetly sent to net. Patch #2 is the actual x-netns implementation.
