Subject: [iproute PATCH 0/2] ip-address: fix type list inconsistencies

The basic problem was differences in type list reported by help output
and stated in man page.

I decided to tackle the problem from both sides:
a) Make sure 'ip addr show' supports matching on all types reported.
b) Add missing types in either list.

This is still rather best-effort, actually things are quite messed up:
- Lists are not sorted, it's easy to miss something.
- The type list is duplicated four times as ip-link help and man page
  contain it, too.
- The kernel supports more types than listed here.
- We can't add but match on all types the kernel supports.

Phil Sutter (2):
  ip-address: Support filtering by slave type, too
  ip-address: Align type list in help and man page
