  "Extended Socket network device" doesn't necessitate real (physical) Ethernet card.
  There's no Ethernet card, so I'm not quite sure I can put this code
  under driver/net/ethernet.
  I thought this driver is analogous with "vmxnet3" or "hyperv", so I put at driver/net.
  If it's no problem to put it under driver/net/ethernet, I'm ready to migrate it.

  Sincerely,
  Taku Izumi
