Nothing should be emitting netlink messages, potentially en-masse to a multicast group or broadcast, in hardware interrupt context. I know it's been said that only systemd receives these things, so that point doesn't need to be remade again. We have many weeks until -final is released so I really don't understand the reluctance at a slightly more involved fix in -rc2. In fact this is the most optimal time to try it this way, as we'll have the maximum amount of time for it to have exposure for testing before -final. Thanks.
