I may do it myself.  I've been looking at the code and I don't like the
if construct because I don't feel it conveys the purpose of the code
clearly.  Implicit in the if construct is embedded knowledge about
which providers do what.  I'd rather have a switch construct on the
index with the flow split to those that have only .dump, those that
have only .doit, and those that have both.  The current if doesn't make
it clear that this is how the netlink services are structured.
