Hmm, and as an end user I can't do `ip netns identify $(pidof ptp4l)`
even if I know about this issue.

Maybe ptp4l could include the namespace name in the VLA response. Are
the messages considered a stable API?

Alternatively I might mention the issue in the man page.

Not being able to tell which of the PTP port identifiers represents
which actual interface is something of a problem if you have more than
about two of them.
