Ok. Sounds reasonable.

I have idea having new type of message:
rtnl_register(PF_UNSPEC, RTM_GETBLOCK, tc_getblock_doit,
tc_getblock_dumpit, 0);
Also, block creation would send RTM_NEWBLOCK and block deletion would
send RTM_DELBLOCK. Not needed now, but I guess it would be nice to have
notifications.

Yeah, I will. There is couple of other places in the neibour code that
need extact (like qdisq lookup fail). But those I will address in a
separate patchset.
