From 070ac3a2651e3c1c4d277c5f1981517427c386a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Denis V. Lunev" Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2007 12:04:19 -0700 Subject: [NET]: Proper comment for loopback initialization order. Loopback device is special. It should be initialized at the very beginning. Initialization order has been changed by Eric W. Biederman and this change is non-obvious and important enough to add proper comment. Signed-off-by: Denis V. Lunev Signed-off-by: David S.
