What about things like neigh_sysctl_register which expects nonempty dev name or rtnetlink_event which sends a RTM_NEWLINK event (I doubt that listeners are prepared for nonempty dev name)? Also, if the interface has ifindex assigned it is accessible from user space (although it's unlikely anybody would call anything on it) - what should be the correct result of e.g. SIOCGIFNAME?
