I'm looking into that currently, although I was starting to wonder if its
possible to do with a generic netlink socket.  I can't seem to find any
examples, and I can't use the net-pf-* module alias mechanism that formal
protocols implement, since I don't have a defined address family.  I suppose I
could augment that format to support a net-pf-16-<name> alias, where name is the
name of the genl family that gets registered by the module you're looking for.

Does that seem like a reasonable idea?
