 *   nlmsg_attrdata(nlh, hdrlen)---^
 *
 * Data Structures:
 *   struct nlmsghdr			netlink message header
 *
 * Message Construction:
 *   nlmsg_new()			create a new netlink message

 *
 * Message Sending:
 *   nlmsg_multicast()			multicast message to several groups

 *   nlmsg_notify()			send notification message
 *
 * Message Length Calculations:
 *   nlmsg_msg_size(payload)		length of message w/o padding
 *   nlmsg_total_size(payload)		length of message w/ padding
 *   nlmsg_padlen(payload)		length of padding at tail
 *

 *
 * Message Parsing:
 *   nlmsg_ok(nlh, remaining)		does nlh fit into remaining bytes?
 *   nlmsg_next(nlh, remaining)		get next netlink message
 *   nlmsg_parse()			parse attributes of a message
 *   nlmsg_find_attr()			find an attribute in a message
 *   nlmsg_for_each_msg()		loop over all messages

 *   nla_next(nla)-----------------------------'
 *
 * Data Structures:
 *   struct nlattr			netlink attribute header
 *
 * Attribute Construction:
 *   nla_reserve(skb, type, len)	reserve room for an attribute
 *   nla_reserve_nohdr(skb, len)	reserve room for an attribute w/o hdr
 *   nla_put(skb, type, len, data)	add attribute to skb
 *   nla_put_nohdr(skb, len, data)	add attribute w/o hdr

 *   NLA_PUT_FLAG(skb, type)		add flag attribute to skb
 *   NLA_PUT_MSECS(skb, type, jiffies)	add msecs attribute to skb
 *
 *   The meaning of these functions is equal to their lower case
 *   variants but they jump to the label nla_put_failure in case
 *   of a failure.
 *
 * Nested Attributes Construction:
 *   nla_nest_start(skb, type)		start a nested attribute
 *   nla_nest_end(skb, nla)		finalize a nested attribute
 *   nla_nest_compat_start(skb, type,	start a nested compat attribute

 *
 * Attribute Payload Access:

 *   nla_strlcpy(dst, nla, size)	copy attribute to a sized string
 *   nla_strcmp(nla, str)		compare attribute with string
