This will cause a slight user-visible change in that dumping
the policies will switch from per family to per op, but
supposedly sniffer-type applications (which are the main use
case for policy dumping thus far) 

For the record, I don't think anything there has actually been
implemented ... I've been meaning to, but not gotten to it, the only
thing I had done was a "dummy" policy dump helper in iproute2/genl.

Which I guess will no longer work with this, and thus I should in fact
implement the scheme I outlined for dumping all commands at once, so the
"manual" introspection there can work again.

Still, it's all very new and not really in use yet, so I see no issues
with it all.
