Physical interfaces are not a problem, as each interface can be only in
a single net name space.

The problem here is this patch gives access to physical interface
settings through a virtual interface layered on top of it. Whenever
such thing is done, the virtual interface needs to provide a suitable
way of moderating access to the shared resources, so the individual
virtual interfaces do not affect each other. That's not what's being
done here.

I think this patch is wrong.
