That's not true anymore, and we lost this mecanism when we switch from 
makefiles to jamfiles.
Since, I've removed all #if USERLAND references, switching back to the 
same with 
build system-defined _KERNEL_MODE which is far enought.

However, I've failed ot find time to write jamfile building userland 
add-ons from the src/add-ons/kernel/network/* modules codes, something 
Ingo already have done for his DiskScannerTest app. 
I should try to follow his step here...

Not true anymore too:
net_stack_driver publish /dev/net/stack, where net_stack_server publish 
/dev/net/server, so both can live along.

Agreed.
