* Netlink Messages and Attributes Interface (As Seen On TV)
* Message Sending:
* nlmsg_multicast() multicast message to several groups
* nlmsg_unicast() unicast a message to a single socket
+ * nlmsg_notify() send notification message
*
* Message Length Calculations:
* nlmsg_msg_size(payload) length of message w/o padding
* nlmsg_validate() validate netlink message incl. attrs
* nlmsg_for_each_attr() loop over all attributes
*
+ * Misc:
+ * nlmsg_report() report back to application?

* Attributes Interface
* ------------------------------------------------------------------------
* nla_ok(nla, remaining) does nla fit into remaining bytes?
* nla_next(nla, remaining) get next netlink attribute
* nla_validate() validate a stream of attributes
+ * nla_validate_nested() validate a stream of nested attributes
* nla_find() find attribute in stream of attributes
