Looks good, applied, thanks Jiri.
If someone is looking for a useful project, switching networking over to
a more typed notifier system would be a worthwhile improvement.
It's hard to right now to communicate what changed beyond "action X
happened to this object, you have to check to see exactly how it
changed"
This came up recently with the IFF_NOARP stuff.
