2015-02-10	tipc: convert legacy nl bearer dump to nl compat	Richard Alpe	1	-1/+273
	Introduce a framework for dumping netlink data from the new netlink API and formatting it to the old legacy API format. This is done by looping the dump data and calling a format handler for each entity, in this case a bearer. We dump until either all data is dumped or we reach the limited buffer size of the legacy API. Remember, the legacy API doesn't scale. In this commit we convert TIPC_CMD_GET_BEARER_NAMES to use the compat layer.

2015-02-10	tipc: move and rename the legacy nl api to "nl compat"	Richard Alpe	1	-0/+105
	The new netlink API is no longer "v2" but rather the standard API and the legacy API is now "nl compat". We split them into separate start/stop and put them in different files in order to further distinguish them.
