Yeah, that seems right.

I don't think so. We call this function - via
__real_bp_extack_genl_register_family() - on copy->family, so we do need
to copy like Aaron said, we just need to make it conditional for kernel
< 3.13 because on 3.13 we don't use this sub-family thing.

I've committed a fix - does that work for both of you? Aaron?
