 *   nlmsg_total_size(payload)          length of message w/ padding
 *   nlmsg_padlen(payload)              length of padding at tail

 *   nla_next(nla)-----------------------------'
 *
 * Data Structures:
 *   struct nlattr                      netlink attribute header
 *
 * Attribute Construction:
 *   nla_reserve(skb, type, len)        reserve room for an attribute
 *   nla_reserve_nohdr(skb, len)        reserve room for an attribute w/o hdr
 *   nla_put(skb, type, len, data)      add attribute to skb
 *   nla_put_nohdr(skb, len, data)      add attribute w/o hdr
 *   nla_append(skb, len, data)         append data to skb
 *
 * Attribute Construction for Basic Types:
 *   nla_put_u8(skb, type, value)       add u8 attribute to skb
 *   nla_put_u16(skb, type, value)      add u16 attribute to skb
 *   nla_put_u32(skb, type, value)      add u32 attribute to skb
 *   nla_put_u64(skb, type, value)      add u64 attribute to skb
 *   nla_put_string(skb, type, str)     add string attribute to skb
 *   nla_put_flag(skb, type)            add flag attribute to skb
 *   nla_put_msecs(skb, type, jiffies)  add msecs attribute to skb
 *
 * Exceptions Based Attribute Construction:
 *   NLA_PUT(skb, type, len, data)      add attribute to skb
 *   NLA_PUT_U8(skb, type, value)       add u8 attribute to skb
 *   NLA_PUT_U16(skb, type, value)      add u16 attribute to skb
 *   NLA_PUT_U32(skb, type, value)      add u32 attribute to skb
 *   NLA_PUT_U64(skb, type, value)      add u64 attribute to skb
 *   NLA_PUT_STRING(skb, type, str)     add string attribute to skb
 *   NLA_PUT_FLAG(skb, type)            add flag attribute to skb
 *   NLA_PUT_MSECS(skb, type, jiffies)  add msecs attribute to skb
 *
 *   The meaning of these functions is equal to their lower case
 *   variants but they jump to the label nla_put_failure in case
 *   of a failure.
 *
 * Nested Attributes Construction:
 *   nla_nest_start(skb, type)          start a nested attribute
 *   nla_nest_end(skb, nla)             finalize a nested attribute
 *   nla_nest_cancel(skb, nla)          cancel nested attribute construction
 *
 * Attribute Length Calculations:
 *   nla_attr_size(payload)             length of attribute w/o padding
 *   nla_total_size(payload)            length of attribute w/ padding
 *   nla_padlen(payload)                length of padding
 *
 * Attribute Payload Access:
 *   nla_data(nla)                      head of attribute payload
 *   nla_len(nla)                       length of attribute payload
 *
 * Attribute Payload Access for Basic Types:
 *   nla_get_u8(nla)                    get payload for a u8 attribute
 *   nla_get_u16(nla)                   get payload for a u16 attribute
 *   nla_get_u32(nla)                   get payload for a u32 attribute
 *   nla_get_u64(nla)                   get payload for a u64 attribute
 *   nla_get_flag(nla)                  return 1 if flag is true
 *   nla_get_msecs(nla)                 get payload for a msecs attribute
 *
 * Attribute Misc:
 *   nla_memcpy(dest, nla, count)       copy attribute into memory
 *   nla_memcmp(nla, data, size)        compare attribute with memory area
 *   nla_strlcpy(dst, nla, size)        copy attribute to a sized string
 *   nla_strcmp(nla, str)               compare attribute with string
 *
 * Attribute Parsing:
 *   nla_ok(nla, remaining)             does nla fit into remaining bytes?
 *   nla_next(nla, remaining)           get next netlink attribute
 *   nla_validate()                     validate a stream of attributes
 *   nla_validate_nested()              validate a stream of nested attributes
 *   nla_find()                         find attribute in stream of attributes
 *   nla_find_nested()                  find attribute in nested attributes
 *   nla_parse()                        parse and validate stream of attrs
 *   nla_parse_nested()                 parse nested attribuets
 *   nla_for_each_attr()                loop over all attributes
 *   nla_for_each_nested()              loop over the nested attributes
