Just a heads up that I have some work to backport the currently
pending collateral evolution from this patch:

        netlink: Rename pid to portid to avoid confusion

        It is a frequent mistake to confuse the netlink port identifier with a
        process identifier.  Try to reduce this confusion by renaming fields
        that hold port identifiers portid instead of pid.

        I have carefully avoided changing the structures exported to
        userspace to avoid changing the userspace API.

        I have successfully built an allyesconfig kernel with this change.

I think I'll be done by the end of the day.
