Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] Get rid of attribute parsing in rtnetlink_rcv_msg()

We have been wanting to get rid of rta_buf for a while. It is error
prone as it requires subsystems, especially modules, that register a
rtnetlink mesage type to also modify rtnetlink.c and thus require
the recompilation of the kernel. DECnet is the only user left so after
converting it we can safely remove it

Thomas Graf (2):
  decnet: Parse netlink attributes on our own
  rtnetlink: Remove passing of attributes into rtnl_doit functions
