Ah, sorry, thought I must have already complained to you about this in the past - netlink aligns everything to 4B. So u8 or u16 or u32 it's all the same size at the message level. For the <u32 types some bytes are just treated as padding instead of being useful. But if you explicitly need only 0/1 then it doesn't matter.
