- Add module refcounting support for modules implementing a netlink

- Add support for autoloading modules that implement a netlink protocol
as soon as someone opens a socket for that protocol

[NETLINK]: fib_lookup() via netlink

Below is a more generic patch to do fib_lookup via netlink. For others
we should say that we discussed this as a way to verify route selection.
It's also possible there are others uses for this.

In short the fist half of struct fib_result_nl is filled in by caller
and netlink call fills in the other half and returns it.

In case anyone is interested there is a corresponding user app to compare
the full routing table this was used to test implementation of the LC-trie.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
