Subject: [PATCH 06/16] DRBD: userspace_interface

DRBD uses netlink via connector. The packets are composed of extensible tag
lists. That interface can be extended over time without breaking old
userspace programs.
The nice part of the interface to userspace: drbd.h. The ugly part is for
sure drbd_tag_magic.h. I realize that macros are generally frowned upon, but
this way it is easier to maintain. The code that gets generated by
repeatedly including drbd_nl.h is hard to maintain over time if it is open
coded. (BTW, did you know that the samba 4 people are proud to have more 
than 50% of their code auto generated:)
