Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/9] net: fib_rules: decouple address families from real address families

From: Patrick McHardy <kaber@...sh.net>

Decouple the address family values used for fib_rules from the real
address families in socket.h. This allows to use fib_rules for
code that is not a real address family without increasing AF_MAX/NPROTO.

Values up to 127 are reserved for real address families and map directly
to the corresponding AF value, values starting from 128 are for other
uses. rtnetlink is changed to invoke the AF_UNSPEC dumpit/doit handlers
for these families.

Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@...sh.net>
