I'll only comment on the netlink bits and leave the rest to others. I'd highly recommend the use of attributes instead of fixed message structures to allow the interface to be flexible to extensions while staying binary compatible.
Another idea might be to use the new generic netlink family to make things a bit easier to use. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
