Subject: [PATCH 3/3] IPROUTE: generate compat messages that match
	nla_parse_nested_compat

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@...el.com>

This patch updates libnetlink.c to generate nested compat netlink
attributes in the same format that is parsed by the kernels 2.6.26
and newer.

This patch will fix the prio multiqueue option for 2.6.26 kernels,
but will break compatibility with all kernels prior to 2.6.26.
