You're doing it correct. The label space is a responsibility of the "porting"
layer.  So in this case ldp_linux should be the one to add the label space. 
I wouldn't take much work to do it.  Just add the call (look in mplsadm.c for
an example) to ldp_linux.c:add_interface().  For now always assing every
interface to label space 0, later on the label space could be a parameter to
the 'add interface' command.

Do you think your up for it?  If not let me know and I'll add it to my
todo list :-)
