I take that back.  Looks like my walkers would be no good for
netfilter anyway since it wants to do nested walks, meaning no
locks can be taken.

So I think I'll just have to tackle netfilter first in which case
the walk function would be no use anyway since I could just fix
netlink by itself.

Cheers,
