The netlink notification's ancillary data contains the network
namespace id (netnsid) needed to identify the device correctly.
(ifindex and netnsid).

Thanks a lot for working on this.

I did not fully review this patch, but one thing that would make me more
comfortable with cmsg handling is if the code would identify SCM_RIGHTS
cmsgs and close the fds that they contain.  I don't know currently
whether the kernel ever sends fds to userspace over netlink cmsgs, but
for unix domain socket messages sent between user processes it is risky
to accept cmsg data without closing any received fds: it makes the
receiving process prone to fd leaks.

It seems that kernel doesn't send any fds through netlink messages,
not sure on Windows though. But I agree OVS could be on the defensive
side and close if it finds fds.

Let's see if there are other comments today, otherwise I will respin
the patchset including the fix.

Thanks Ben!
