The decnet includes two places to patch. The first one is 
the net/decnet table itself, and it is patched just like 
other subsystems in the first patch in this series.

The second place is a bit more complex - it is the 
net/decnet/conf/xxx entries,. similar to those in 
ipv4/devinet.c and ipv6/addrconf.c. This code is made similar 
to those in ipv[46].
