These functions are likely to be reused by almost all programs
that want to talk with the kernel subsystem.
We can add here to libnftnl or maybe put in a higher level library.
Let this patchset be a RFC about this subject.
An example of what means using the new mnlio approach is the
examples/nft-rule-add.c file. We save lots of LOCs.
Comments welcome.
NOTE: this patchset would require several iterations. For example,
I left behind batch_pages.
