   so i was doing a bit of thinking about this netlink conversion for
   signalling (and lane and clip and br2684).  would i create a new
   family for each like NETLINK_SIGNALLING, NETLINK_LANE, or create a
   single new family NETLINK_ATM and multiplex nlmsg_type, or use the
   existing NETLINK_USERSOCK?

Don't user NETLINK_USERSOCK, it's for users :-)

Create NETLINK_ATM, and then multiplex like rtnetlink does
on the message type.
