   The code is absolute, no doubt about it.  It is the authority.
   That doesn't make it right in all cases AFAIK.
   
I totally agree.

   Now, given that I think that the netlink interface is poorly
   documented, and that I'm trying to add some kernel code that
   uses it, and that I'm trying to test said kernel code with a
   userspace test program, I also plan to add such documentation
   that I think is warranted to make it easy to use, even by
   non-kernel devevlopers.

This is exactly how things should work.  Where there is a need
for X _AND_ someone willing to create X, it will be created.

No arguments from me on this :-)
