lnetctl was designed to control LNet only. We have not moved the rest of
the lctl functionality. lctl does a lot of other lustre specific functions.

The idea was to have lnetctl be only LNet specific, and lctl lustre
specific. In essence we are attempting to decouple LNet from lustre. There
has been some talk about upstreaming LNet before lustre with all the work
that James Simmons from ORNL is doing.
