Why so complicated?
Where is this file coming from?
Do we even need a file?
Why/how does user care?

I get feeling we only have this nfnl_osf tool because iptables
uapi is smelly and can't do any better.

So again, how does this look like from user point of view?

Is it something that is going to be shipped with nft itself?
Is it something coming from external source?
What is this osf nft version going to be?

A statement?
An expression?

If so, what does it return?
Name of os found in a register?
