Looks great, applied.

As a future simplification perhaps we can even elide the array length
argument.  Most pass ARRAY_SIZE(foo) but there is at least one case
(DLM) which passes a constant, which is error prone.

#define genl_register_family_with_ops(family, ops)
	__genl_register_family_with_ops(family, ops, ARRAY_SIZE(ops))

something like that.
