Subject: [RFC] iproute2: split up ip man page?

The current ip man page is both incomplete and so big that
the actual functions get lost easily.

I propose splitting the the pages for the subfunction
into sub pages. The man command appears
to be smart enough to handle:
  man tc htb

and pickup the manpage for /usr/share/man/man1/tc-htb.8.gz
Why not do the same thing for ip command?

The base ip page would just be a place holder that covered the
generic arguments.
