While the data will be family based, the infra can be generic.
Yeah, that I thought about as well. Thing is, ipv6 notifier has to be atomic. That is the reason we have: inetaddr_chain and register_inetaddr_notifier (blocking notifier) inet6addr_chain and register_inet6addr_notifier (atomic notifier)
