per comments on the email thread about reducing notifications, the
kernel patch for this should be reverted (and hence this iproute2 patch
is not needed) in favor of using a bitmask. Right now there are too many
redundant notifications to userspace.

Vlad: can you look at a bitmask version of IFLA_EVENT that shows what
changed in the newlink message from do_setlink()?
