The goal of this serie is to be able to monitor multicast activities via
rtnetlink.

The main changes are:
  - when user dumps mfc entries it now get all entries, included the unresolved
    cache.
  - kernel sends rtnetlink when it adds/deletes mfc entries.

As usual, the patch against iproute2 will be sent once the patches are included and
net-next merged. I can send it on demand.

This looks good, applied, thanks Nicolas.

The one thing I worry about are those 64-bit statistics.  I fear that they
not be 64-bit aligned in the final netlink message.  This matters on cpus
that trap on unaligned loads/stores, such as sparc and MIPS.

Can you validate this?

I can have a try on a tile platform. I don't have access to sparc or mips.
