This patch implement the 'Device Naming' feature of the Hyper-V network device API. In Hyper-V on the host through the GUI or PowerShell it is possible to enable the device naming feature which causes the host to make available to the guest the name of the device. This shows up in the RNDIS protocol as the friendly name. The name has no particular meaning and is limited to 256 characters. The value can only be set via PowerShell on the host, but could be scripted for mass deployments. The default value is the string 'Network Adapter' and since that is the same for all devices and useless, the driver ignores it. In Windows, the value goes into a registry key for use in SNMP ifAlias. For Linux, this patch puts the value in the network device alias property; where it is visible in ip tools and SNMP. The host provided ifAlias is just a suggestion, and can be overridden by later ip commands. Also requires exporting dev_set_alias in netdev core.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
