Here's what I'll push into the tree.

commit c0279128f20aa3580b0b43aaa49f351f6bad5f30

    [NETLINK]: Put {IFA,IFLA}_{RTA,PAYLOAD} macros back for userspace.
    
    GLIBC uses them etc.
    
    They are guarded by ifndef __KERNEL__ so nobody will start
    accidently using them in the kernel again, it's just for
    userspace.
