AppleTalk keeps its per-interface control block (struct atalk_iface) directly in struct netdevice (dev->atalk_ptr). This is the only thing tying the protocol into the core net_device layout and is the sole blocker to moving AppleTalk out of tree. Replace dev->atalk_ptr with a small ifindex-keyed hashtable internal to ddp.c. The existing atalk_interfaces list stays the owner of the iface objects; the hashtable is purely a fast dev->iface index and reuses the same atalk_interfaces_lock. AFAICT this patch does not make this code any more racy than it already is, I'm sure Sashiko will point out some basically existing bugs. AFAICT atalk_interfaces_lock is the innermost lock already.
