Commit Message

Antonio Quartulli Dec. 11, 2024, 9:15 p.m. UTC
This commit introduces basic netlink support with family
registration/unregistration functionalities and stub pre/post-doit.

More importantly it introduces the YAML uAPI description along
with its auto-generated files:
- include/uapi/linux/ovpn.h
- drivers/net/ovpn/netlink-gen.c
- drivers/net/ovpn/netlink-gen.h
