[patch 4/4] Network namespaces: playing and debugging

[Andrey Savochkin <saw@swsoft.com>]

Temporary code to play with network namespaces in the simplest way.
Do
	exec 7< /proc/net/net_ns
in your bash shell and you'll get a brand new network namespace.
There you can, for example, do
	ip link set lo up
	ip addr list
	ip addr add 1.2.3.4 dev lo
	ping -n 1.2.3.4
