Instead of using a shared version script 'libnl.sym', add individual
linker scripts for all libnl libraries.
For now, the content of the version script is unchanged and this
patch does not have any externally visible changes.

libnl3 contains a private copy of some kernel header files.
Normally, users are expected to install libnl and specify
-I$PREFIX/include/libnl3 as include path. As the private kernel
header files are not installed, this works fine.
However, it can be convenient to build against the libnl source
directory, without installing libnl. In this case, the private kernel
header files shaddow the system provided ones. This is undesired.
Move these files to a different directory to avoid this clash.

When out-of-source build with '--disable-dependency-tracking' is
performed, the 'lib/route' and 'lib/route/cls' directories required for
flex/yacc output do not exist. As a result, the flex/yacc calls fail
with ENOENT.
Create the necessary directories explicitly via $(MKDIR_P)
in the flex/yacc rules to guarantee proper out-of-source and in-source
build.

`make distcheck` builds outside the source directory using
`../configure --srcdir=..`. This was broken because libnl.sym was
expected in the $(top_srcdir) instead of $(top_builddir).

- Inet diag allows users to gather low-level socket information.
- This library provides a higher-level API for creating inetdiag requests (via
idiagnl_connect and idiagnl_send_simple) and parsing the replies (via
idiagnl_msg_parse). A cache is also provided (via idiagnl_msg_alloc_cache).
- Request and message objects provide APIs for accessing and setting the
various properties of each.
- This library also allows the user to parse the inetdiag response attributes
which contain information about traffic class, TOS, congestion, socket
memory info, and more depending on the kernel version used.
- Includes doxygen documentation.
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a networking technology which has
widespread use in automation, embedded devices and automotive fields.
The socket-CAN package is an implementation of CAN protocols for Linux.
All socket-CAN related configurations are carried out through Netlink.
Add basic socket-CAN support to libnl to be able to configure CAN devices
with libnl.

This is an addendum to 0a9d5fcfa4,
which forgot to change ${LEX} to ${FLEX} in lib/Makefile.am.
On openSUSE, /usr/bin/lex is a wrapper that calls `flex -l ...`.
libnl however requires flex, not lex or a compat mode thereof,
so using ${FLEX} is the proper thing to do.

This patch adds a hash function for hashing libnl objects.
This hash function is from:
http://ccodearchive.net/info/hash.html
The original code was modified to remove unwanted dependencies,
unwanted code and fixes to header file locations
One requirement with this hash function is, hashing over multiple fields of an
un-packed struct requires that the struct be zeroed, otherwise random padding
bytes will change the hash.

Run-time version information is available as exported four integers:
- const int nl_ver_num = LIBNL_VER_NUM;
- const int nl_ver_maj = LIBNL_VER_MAJ;
- const int nl_ver_min = LIBNL_VER_MIN;
- const int nl_ver_mic = LIBNL_VER_MIC;
The purpose of this is to get version of compiled library as run time.
Use cases:
- To know exact version of the library in Python's ctypes module,
Say, to find out if nl_cache_mngr_alloc() allow sk=NULL
- To make sure that the version of the loaded library corresponds to the
version of headers (for the paranoid). Say, to check:
if (LIBNL_VER_NUM != nl_ver_num)
exit(1);
The plug qdisc supports two operations - plug and unplug. When the
qdisc receives a plug ("buffer") command via netlink request,
packets arriving henceforth are buffered until a corresponding unplug
command is received. Depending on the type of unplug ("release_one"
or "release_indefinite"), the queue can be unplugged indefinitely or
selectively.
The plug qdisc allows a user to implement network output buffering
(aka output commit), used commonly in checkpoint based fault tolerance
systems. It also supports a general purpose queue plug/unplug
functionality.
The associated kernel module is available in David Miller's net-next
tree, commit: c3059be16c9ef29c05f0876a9df5fea21f29724f
This patch introduces userspace tools and API, to control the qdisc
via netlink messages.

It has been a request that multiple libnl versions should be installabe
in parallel.
In order to achieve this, the basename of the library was changed to
libnl-3 which reflects the 3rd generation of libnl APIs. It also means
that release based library versioning is left behind and libtool
versioning is used instead.
Projects using pkgconfig will automatically link against the new library
basename and will not notice a difference.
The SO versioning is based on the glib model:
current := 100 * minor + micro - revision
revision := revision
age := age (number of backwards compatible versions)
This commit adds some missing files (some header files, the files below
/etc and the bison/flex files) to the distribution tarball to ensure
that libnl can be built from the tarballs created using "make dist".
It also adds some incantations to properly generate the flex and bison
output since the generated output is no longer shipped in the tarball.
This patch fixes out-of-tree build, that is, when building with
$builddir != $srcdir. In such a case, some generated header files are
not found because they live in a different tree and can be fixed by
adding the directories to the compiler's include search path.
Finally got rid of all the qdisc/class/cls code duplication in
the tc module API. The API takes care of allocation/freeing the
tc object specific data.
I hope I got it right this time.
Note: The code for this is not upstream yet.
Extends the link api to allow address family modules to fill a link
message and implements a AF_INET address family link module which
uses the new interface.
