per comments on the email thread about reducing notifications, the kernel patch for this should be reverted (and hence this iproute2 patch is not needed) in favor of using a bitmask. Right now there are too many redundant notifications to userspace. Vlad: can you look at a bitmask version of IFLA_EVENT that shows what changed in the newlink message from do_setlink()?
