Subject[PATCH 04/14] init: deps: order network interfaces by link order
Date
In order to provide stable interface numbers, network interface drivers
will be ordered by the link order. This is easy to accomplish by adding
dependencies.

Assuming three different ethernet-drivers, without any special code,
the dependency graph would not require any special order inbetween them
and would look like that:

eth-driver-base
/ | \
eth-x eth-y eth-z

Now we just add dependencies. With the additional dependencies the graph
looks like:

eth-driver-base
| | |
eth-x | |
| | |
eth-y -| |
| |
eth-z ---|
