[RFC libnftnl PATCH 0/2] New mnlio functions

[Arturo Borrero Gonzalez <arturo.borrero.glez@gmail.com>]

These functions are likely to be reused by almost all programs
that want to talk with the kernel subsystem.

We can add here to libnftnl or maybe put in a higher level library.

Let this patchset be a RFC about this subject.

An example of what means using the new mnlio approach is the
examples/nft-rule-add.c file. We save lots of LOCs.

Comments welcome.

NOTE: this patchset would require several iterations. For example,
I left behind batch_pages.
