Subject: [PATCH 06/16] drbd: user space interface (based upon connector/netlink)

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:)
