Subject: [PATCH 0/8] dcbnl: Major simplifications

The dcbnl code is overly complicated when constructing the reply
message. This series of patches simplifies the process and
introduces consistent error codes allowing user space to figure
out what went wrong.

Patches have been tested with ixgbe in a FCoE setup.

Thomas Graf (8):
  dcbnl: Prepare framework to shorten handling functions
  dcbnl: Shorten all command handling functions
  dcbnl: Remove now unused dcbnl_reply()
  dcbnl: Use dcbnl_newmsg() where possible
  dcbnl: Return consistent error codes
  dcbnl: Move dcb app lookup code into dcb_app_lookup()
  dcbnl: Move dcb app allocation into dcb_app_add()
  dcbnl: Use type safe nlmsg_data()
