Please try to use reverse xmas tree ordering - longest line to shortest -
for local variable declarations in new Networking code.

https://github.com/ecree-solarflare/xmastree is your friend here.

Sparse seems a bit unhappy about this.

  .../veth.c:1081:18: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
  .../veth.c:1081:18:    expected struct net_device *peer_dev
  .../veth.c:1081:18:    got struct net_device [noderef] __rcu *peer

Looking over existing code in this file, perhaps this is appropriate:

	peer_dev = rtnl_dereference(priv->peer);

Likewise in a few other places in this patch.
