To heck it is!
The changed version of iproute2 will not work without the kernel
changes installed. The kernel validates the size of the structures
passed in, you can't change the user visible interface like this.
Add new netlink attributes to extend things, that's the "real"
backwards compatible way to make changes to netlink interfaces.
