Please delete this in the final version, the macro isn't even used by
the code.

We don't do protocol versioning in netlink.  Instead we get the base
stuff solid from the beginning, and then if something needs fixing up
we handle this using new attributes in a way which is both backward
and forward compatible.

Thanks.
