Here's what I'll push into the tree.
commit c0279128f20aa3580b0b43aaa49f351f6bad5f30
Author: David S. Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Fri Dec 8 17:05:13 2006 -0800
[NETLINK]: Put {IFA,IFLA}_{RTA,PAYLOAD} macros back for userspace.
GLIBC uses them etc.
They are guarded by ifndef __KERNEL__ so nobody will start
accidently using them in the kernel again, it's just for
userspace.
