Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next v2 0/5] Allow to monitor protocol configuration

This patch serie aims to advertising via netlink any change in the network
configuration of a protocol (network or transport). For example the announcement
when ip forwarding parameter is toggled. 

It adds a new kind of messages, RTM_NEWNETCONF/RTM_GETNETCONF.

The patch which adds the support of netconf messages in iproute2 will be sent
when the feature will be included.  If someone is interested to get it before,
just tell me!

v2: rename functions to be consistent
    specify type of the attribute to notify when calling
    inet[6]_netconf_notify_devconf(), goal is to notify only thinks that
    changed.
    add RTM_GETNETCONF support

Comments are welcome.

Regards,
Nicolas
