Yes, and in the future, documentation of this will be available here:
 Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt

Right now is only available via net-next:
 https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git/tree/Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt
or
 https://lwn.net/Articles/559211/

Guess, we should add a pointer to this new doc from
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt once it hits Linus'es tree.

Now I cannot find any more ways to spell-it-out, for people searching google ;-)
