Lets change the example so others don't propagate the problem further.

Since there doesn't seem to be a define one could use in the user space linux/netlink.h (?), but there are comments in the example code in the manpage, how about also including a brief comment to the effect that using 8192 bytes will avoid message truncation problems on platforms with a large PAGE_SIZE?

/* avoid msg truncation on > 4096 byte PAGE_SIZE platforms */

or something like that.
