No.

While I think we need to have a detailed documentation on netlink,
I believe it should reside in Documentation/ inside the kernel tree to
be easily updated, not in an outside document collection with much more
heavyweight processes around getting something updated.

I would offer taking the RFC 3549 into the kernel tree and extending it
but my understanding of the license is that I'm not allowed to do that
(as I would modify the "document itself").
