Netlink has been update to provide group information and means of applying changes to members of a specific group via a single message. In addition, for testing purposes, we add a parameter to the dummy module. If supplied, all devices that are created are assigned to the specified group. I will follow up with a patchset which updates iproute2 to use the new parameters.
