Add _rcu to the name? That is the standard convention.

As I said already, this should not even look at the sockaddr unless
there are multiple possible hits on the other parameters, and there
should be a comment explaining the sockaddr is only a hack to make up
for having an incomplete LLADDR.

That way people not using same guid children do not get incorrect
functionality..

This if should be first I'd think.

Is the locking OK here? This access protected by lists_rwsem -
but for instance ib_unregister_device holds only the device_mutex when
calling client->remove, which kfree's dev_list. Looks wrong to me.
