A minor point, and i know naming is hard, but i keep reading _ns_ and
think namespace, as in ip netns. Maybe we should think of something
other than ns.

independent between netdevices... I thought about "phy_list", "phys",
"phy_devices" but none of that felt correct :(
Any idea here would be welcome :D
