I agree completely.  I'm just saying that the current NLM_GOODSIZE

need to do is to insert a helper call just before netlink_unicast
to copy and trim the packet in the places that need it.

Here is a demonstration of what I meant.  Please note that this is
totally untested.

We could just make the last argument of netlink_unicast into a flag
so that it can do this directly.
