Hi Andrew,

From: David Gibson <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch just adds back some of the iserires_veth proc files to provide
information to user space (particularly Kudzu) to allow the virtual
ethernets to be discovered.  These files existed in a 2.4 version of this
driver that was shipped by some distros.



kudzu can find this stuff with ethtool, without adding this code.

This code isn't needed in 2.6.x.
