Looks good. Please just do some basic tests like setting a few
interfaces to the same group, changing their MTU and setting admin
up then down. If it works add my ACKed-by on both patches.
The only thing that will still generate a lot of noise is the netlink
events that will be generated afterwards for each change on a netdev in
a group i.e a single netlink message..

Maybe we could batch those in a future patch

cheers,
jamal
