====================
rtnetlink: Updates to rtnetlink_event()
This series came out of the conversation that started as a result
my first attempt to add netdevice event info to netlink messages.
This series converts event processing to a 'white list', where
we explicitely permit events to generate netlink messages. This
is meant to make people take a closer look and determine wheter
these events should really trigger netlink messages.
I am also adding a V2 of my patch to add event type to the netlink
message. This version supports all events that we currently generate.
I will also update my patch to iproute that will show this data
through 'ip monitor'.
I actually need the ability to trap NETDEV_NOTIFY_PEERS event
(as well as possible NETDEV_RESEND_IGMP) to support hanlding of
macvtap on top of bonding. I hope others will also find this info usefull.
V2: Added missed events (from David Ahern)
