Reading through the patches they look usable to me. Having to patch iproute to create the more interesting network devices sucks, but that problem seems fundamental. We might be able to avoid it if we allowed fields to be reused between different types of devices but that makes the error checking trickier, and we aren't likely to have that many types of devices so there likely isn't much value in generalizing.
I do think we should specify the IFLA_KIND (was: IFLA_NAME) values in a header file. So it is easy to get a list of all of the different kinds and so we don't conflict.
