It looks reasonable to me, although I'm not sure what the netdev
people will think about scattering notifier calls around the tree.
There's certainly a maintainability cost in terms of requiring those
calls to be kept in sync with how neighbours change.
Also changes to net/ipv6 were conspicuous in their absence. Does your
patch only handle ipv4?

It's not just sullying a good name -- it's respect for maintainers.
We can't merge new functionality into net/ without buy-in from netdev
and Dave Miller.
