The following series implements improvements to the DCB netlink
interface. This work was done to improve Application handling
and support firmware based LLDP agents.

This adds a multicast group for DCB currently user space has
trouble keeping in sync across multiple applications and with
firmware agents making DCB attribute changes in the driver.

To help support the recently ratified IEEE802.1Qaz extension
which supports multiple APP data entries for the same
selector and protocol fields a series of ieee set and delete
routines were improved and in the delete case added.

Finally the patches 5 and 6 are fixes to currently existing
code.

Please consider for net-next-2.6 inclusion.
