Eric,
	Just FYI, I sent a series upstream to implement autoloading of generic
netlink families.  Please be awarem, that I've tested these with a hacked
version of dropwatch, and it works great, but with the normal version of
dropwatch, the drop_monitor module still doesn't autoload.  This is due to libnl
not explicitly requesting a family when genl_ctrl_family_resolve is called.
Instead of trying to load the module, it dumps the existing registered families
via a NLM_F_DUMP message.  I'm working on updating libnl to correct this
currently and will cc you on the patch.
Neil
