We do not support renaming in the kernel namespace anymore (as udev does
that not anymore). So, if a user wants to use ifname, he has to rename
to a custom namespace. "eth[0-9]+" is not allowed anymore.
ifname=<interface>:<MAC>
Assign network device name <interface> (ie eth0) to the NIC with MAC <MAC>.
Note that if you use this option you *must* specify an ifname= argument
for all interfaces used in ip= or fcoe= arguments
Supported cmdline formats:
fcoe=<networkdevice>:<dcb|nodcb>
fcoe=<macaddress>:<dcb|nodcb>
Note currently only nodcb is supported, the dcb option is reserved for
future use.
Note letters in the macaddress must be lowercase!
Examples:
fcoe=eth0:nodcb
fcoe=4A:3F:4C:04:F8:D7:nodcb
