Is msg always printable? even if so, should be VIR_DEBUG rather than
VIR_INFO.

You should probably log an error here.

AFAIK nl_join_groups is deprecated and should be replaced by a
setsockopt( ..., NETLINK_ADD_MEMBERSHIP,...)
Further, I'd recommend to make the group join optional, i.e. something like
if (groups)
setsockopt(...);
and perhaps add error handling.
Not sure, but should the add membership not happen after the connect?

As far as I can tell, it is necessary to implement equivalents of
virNetlinkEventAddClient, virNetlinkEventRemoveClient,
virNetlinkEventRemoveClientPrimitive, virNetlinkEventServiceStop and
virNetlinkEventServiceIsRunning to include the protocol.
Generally, you could go all the way and replace the body of
virNetlinkEventServiceStart by a call to
virNetlinkEventServiceStartProtocol(NETLINK_ROUTE,0);
or change all occurrences of the call to use the extended signature,
Maybe Eric or some other maintainer wants to comment as well.
