The batched verdict implicitely ACKs all queue packet IDs up to the
one send back, which reduces the number of verdict messages send
to the kernel.

This provides support for the new bridging attributes provided
in IFLA_PROTINFO while maintaining backwards compatibility
with older kernels.
A set of new API functions are exported to access the bridging
information. rtnl_link_bridge_has_ext_info() can be used to
check whether a bridge object has been constructed based on
the newly available attributes or the old message format.

Move NL_ACT_* definition and the functions nl_cache_ops_get()
and nl_cache_ops_put() into the public facing API. They can
be considered stable.

Some projects seem to have mistakenly included the private
API headers without actually needing them.
Provide dummy headers referring to the real headers to
provide backwards compatibility.

No longer install module API headers
This commit causes a regression so no app using libnl can be compiled
against it. This patch fixes it by removing includes of no-longe
existing headers.

Various header files providing an API to implement own cache and
object types or implement link types have been available in the
past. Their API is marked unstable in the documentation and nobody
is using them so far.
Technically they have been causing ABI breakages in at least two
3.2.x releases. In order to avoid future accidental breakage, no
longer install these and require module developers to clone the
git tree and build modules off the git tree directly to make sure
that the API is unstable at this point.

This patch adds new operation to compare link af_data.
ao_compare is similar to object oo_compare operation.
This op can be used when two links are compared
for their af data. It takes two link objects in
question, an object specific bitmask defining which
attributes should be compared and flags to control
the behaviour. The function must return a bitmask
with the relevant bit set for each attribute that mismatches.

This patch adds new cache find api
nl_cache_find api was suggested by Thomas.
Unlike nl_cache_search, this patch uses
nl_object_match_filter() to look for an
object match.
Am not sure this matches what was decided
on the list few weeks back. I will be happy
to make any changes.

Controller Area Network (CAN) is a networking technology which has
widespread use in automation, embedded devices and automotive fields.
The socket-CAN package is an implementation of CAN protocols for Linux.
All socket-CAN related configurations are carried out through Netlink.
Add basic socket-CAN support to libnl to be able to configure CAN devices
with libnl.

This patch adds a new socket to cache manager to request fill's on.
cache manager today uses cm_sock to request dump from
the kernel. It also listens to netlink async events on the same sock.
The problem with this is that when libnl is waiting to process the
response to get dump request sent to the kernel during fill,
it may receive an async event, resulting in libnl complaining about
unexpected msg
This is usually reproducible when there is heavy netlink async event
traffic during nl_cache_mngr_add.
This patch adds a new cm_sync_sock to use for fill during cache manager
add cache.
The other option is to provide an api to set the cm_sync_sock. But since
this is a bug fix its probably better to fix the cache manager add api
like this patch does. Please suggest otherwise.

AF_BRIDGE neigh objects can be uniquely identified by
the family, lladdr and bridge ifindex. This patch adds
bridge ifindex to AF_BRIDGE neigh objects.
Things will be ok even without this patch with just family and
lladdr if we assume that we will have unique lladdr's
accross bridges in a system.
Kernel does not send the bridge ifindex in the AF_BRIDGE
fdb/neigh message. This patch tries to get that info by a
link cache lookup and adds it to the bridge neigh object
