Help with netlink needed

[Martin Hunt]

We really need to start getting the kernel <-> user space data transport
code into the runtime library soon.  I have not done any work with this,
so help would be greatly appreciated.

We have several immediate requirements:

1. High-speed transfer of large amounts of collected data.  I was
thinking of having 2 large trace buffers, one active and one inactive.
When the active one fills up, it is marked inactive and a task is put on
the work queue to send it.  The inactive buffer becomes active and will
be used while the inactive one is written to user-space. A command could
also be provided to flush the active buffer.

2. A separate channel for immediate messages.  Used to signal error
conditions, print warnings, etc.  Anything that is not normal trace
output.

Any thoughts? Code?
