This is main routine to parse ip-link(8) configuration parameters.

Main reason to improve it is to pass network device @name, @dev and
other parameters to kind specific ->parse_opt() function so they can use
this information.

For example later we will extend iplink_get() to parse netlink
attributes deeper and replace open coded rtnl_talk() in ip/tunnel
modules to simplify getting existing tunnel information.

Among main change there is a number of patches to prepare for it
that improve iplink_parse() in some way.

See individual patch description message for more information.

Thanks,
Serhii

Serhey Popovych (8):
  iplink: Return from function instead of calling exit()
  utils: Introduce and use nodev() helper routine
  iplink: Correctly report error when network device isn't found
  iplink: Use "dev" and "name" parameters interchangeable when possible
  iplink: Follow documented behaviour when "index" is given
  iplink: Perform most of request buffer setups and checks in
    iplink_parse()
  iplink: Move data structures to block of their users
  iplink: Reduce number of arguments to iplink_parse()
