Since we're adding new multicast groups, what about adding one for
the passive event monitor? That way we can return ESRCH in km_query
if there are no registered ACQUIRE listeners but still send messages
to the monitor.
Not sure how to do it for both PF_KEY and netlink. It does sound like a
reasonable thing to do. Thoughts?
For non-standard extensions like this I wouldn't worry about PF_KEY.
After all, if you're going to make sense of all the messages from
the kernel you'll have to use netlink anyway.

Cheers,
