I think it would be nice to extend libnetlink or create something like
'libgenetlink' with these GENL facilities you created. The tendency is
to increase the number of genetlink users over time, so it seems to
make sense to provide some basic infrastructure for these new users.
Every genetlink application needs to resolve family names and possibly
multicast group names, so I think putting these basic facilities in
common place will help to reduce code duplication in the future.
