Ah, yes, forgot about those stupid macros and their pre-defined goto
labels ... I'm sure someone had a good reason for doing it that way, but
I've never been a fan of that approach (case in point).  I'd ask you to
use the "normal" nla_put_*() functions but I see that the rest of the
file uses the macros so it probably isn't worth it ... oh well.
