From: Jeff Westfahl <jeff.westfahl@ni.com>

The device_poll feature is generic to any device. Most net devices should
be able to use a set of common functionality to implement device_poll, such
as CAP_NET_ADMIN and rtnl_lock. Add this common functionality for all net
devices to use.

This is a standalone feature that should be submitted for review and
possible inclusion in mainline, or maybe in the RT patch.
