I don't follow. Is there any sane reason to use header instead of normal
netlink attribute? Moveover, you extend the existing RT netlink with
a huge amout of p4 things. Isn't this the good time to finally introduce
generic netlink TC family with proper yaml spec with all the benefits it
brings and implement p4 tc uapi there? Please?
