The day of having code use custom local debug logging facilities is long
gone, please use a standard mechanism for this rather than home cooked
reimplementations.

Everone knows these are prototype declarations by virtue of them being
functions declarations in a header file.

Anyone who wants to know where these are defined can run grep.

So these comments are superfluous, please remove them across this
entire submission.

When an expression spans multiple lines, lines end rather than begin
with an operator.

For multi-line if() statements, the second line and subsequent lines
must begine exactly at the first column after the openning parenthesis
of the first line.

If you are purely using TAB characters to indent, you are likely doing
it wrong.

Lines end, not begin, with operators.

Please do not add sysfs configuration knobs, netlink is sufficient.
