udev/net_id: Introduce predictable network names for Linux on System z
Use the bus-ID to create predicatable devices names for network interfaces
on Linux on System z instances. The bus-ID identifies a device in the s390
channel subsystem.
Network interfaces of device type Ethernet are named as:
enccw0.0.1234 (13 characters)
up to
enccwff.7.ffff (14 characters)
CTC network devices of device type SLIP, use a different prefix as follows:
slccw0.0.1234 (13 characters)

[tomegun: typical problem of netdevs switching names between reboots.]
