Below is a more generic patch to do fib_lookup via netlink. For others
we should say that we discussed this as a way to verify route selection.
It's also possible there are others uses for this.
In short the fist half of struct fib_result_nl is filled in by caller
and netlink call fills in the other half and returns it.
In case anyone is interested there is a corresponding user app to compare
the full routing table this was used to test implementation of the LC-trie.

Introduces a new macro NLMSG_NEW which extends NLMSG_PUT but takes
a flags argument. NLMSG_PUT stays there for compatibility but now
calls NLMSG_NEW with flags == 0. NLMSG_PUT_ANSWER is renamed to
NLMSG_NEW_ANSWER which now also takes a flags argument.
Also converts the users of NLMSG_PUT_ANSWER to use NLMSG_NEW_ANSWER
and fixes the two direct users of __nlmsg_put to either provide
the flags or use NLMSG_NEW(_ANSWER).

NLMSG_PUT_ANSWER(skb, nlcb, type, length)
Start a new netlink message as answer to a request,
returns the message header.
NLMSG_END(skb, nlh)
End a netlink message, fixes total message length,
returns skb->len.
NLMSG_CANCEL(skb, nlh)
Cancel the building process and trim whole message

Most audit control messages are sent over netlink.In order to properly
log the identity of the sender of audit control messages, we would like
to add the loginuid to the netlink_creds structure, as per the attached
patch.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
