Future extensions are available here [2]. The idea behind these patches is to create an MDB configuration structure into which netlink messages are parsed into. The structure is then passed in the entry creation / deletion call chain instead of passing the netlink attributes themselves. The same pattern is used by other rtnetlink objects such as routes and nexthops. I initially tried to extend the current code, but it proved to be too difficult, which is why I decided to refactor it to the extensible and familiar pattern used by other rtnetlink objects. Tested using existing selftests and using a new selftest that will be submitted together with the planned extensions.
