How about introducing NLMSG_NEW and leave NLMSG_PUT where it is?
This way we could do incremental updates. If there are not too many of
those NLMSG_PUT around, then it shouldnt be an issue.

The first change would be definetely on top of the current patch i sent
which is well deserved.
Lets have Dave swallow my patch then either you or i could make those
changes. Sounds reasonable?

cheers,
