Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] iproute2: support for device groups

This patch series adds userspace support for network device groups.
There is support for setting device groups, listing only interfaces of a
specific group, and setting basic device parameters for all interfaces
in a group.

Changes since version 3:
 * drop devgroup keyword. There is a single keyword for specifying
   groups now.
 * store group names internally as a hash, similar to routing table
   names. This is more efficient for batch mode operations.

Changes since version 2:
 * groups now have names. The mapping between names and numbers (which
   are used by the kernel) is in /etc/iproute2/group.
 * the ip man page and usage display function have been updated to
   reflect the new functionality.

Changes since version 1:
 * a single attribute is used for both setting the group of a device and
   manipulating an entire group.
