I noticed that the socket module contains the
AF_NETLINK constant, but that it was missing the code
to make it work.  Here's a patch to add netlink socket
support.

AF_NETLINK is used on Linux as a means of communication
between the kernel and user processes (though it can
actually be used between user processes too).  See the
netlink(7) manpage for some more details.

This patch is out of date; AF_NETLINK support was added with
patch 1103116.
