netdev-genl: create a simple family for netdev stuff
Add a Netlink spec-compatible family for netdevs.
This is a very simple implementation without much
thought going into it.
It allows us to reap all the benefits of Netlink specs,
one can use the generic client to issue the commands:
$ ./cli.py --spec netdev.yaml --dump dev_get
[{'ifindex': 1, 'xdp-features': set()},
{'ifindex': 2, 'xdp-features': {'basic', 'ndo-xmit', 'redirect'}},
{'ifindex': 3, 'xdp-features': {'rx-sg'}}]
the generic python library does not have flags-by-name
support, yet, but we also don't have to carry strings
in the messages, as user space can get the names from
the spec.
