netlink feels like a weird API choice for that, in particular it would
be really wrong to somehow bind the lifecycle of a netlink object to a
process.

Netlink is the right API, life cycle of objects can be easily tied to
a netlink socket.

That is an untuitive connection -- memory references, h/w queues, flow
steering should be tied to the datapath socket, not a control plane socket.
