I'm also thinking in doing something with netlink_ack's since they can 
be drop if buffer is full. We could give more priority to error messages 
in some way, for example, check if there's space for an error message in 
the buffer, if there's not, drop as many packets in buffer as we get 
space to enqueue the error message.

Being able to prioritize control (errors and ACKs) would be valuable.
Would require mucking around with the socket queue. 
Something along what we do for a basic default 3 band queue (proabably
two band in this case) should work.
