Why create new RTM_ commands instead of using changelink?

I thought we had to add special commands for bridge because
if the target of the command is not a bridge device but possibly 
a bridge port, which could be anything. That's not the case here.

Is it only about the convenience of add/del vs changelink where
we'd potentially have to pass and parse the entire vni list each time?
