This idea was informally discussed in Ottawa / netdev0.1. The goal is to
ease the use/scalability of netns, from a userland point of view.
Today, users need to open one netlink socket per family and per netns.
Thus, when the number of netns inscreases (for example 5K or more), the
number of sockets needed to manage them grows a lot.

The goal of this series is to be able to monitor netlink events, for a
specified family, for a set of netns, with only one netlink socket. For
this purpose, a netlink socket option is added: NETLINK_LISTEN_ALL_NSID.
When this option is set on a netlink socket, this socket will receive
netlink notifications from all netns that have a nsid assigned into the
netns where the socket has been opened.
The nsid is sent to userland via an anscillary data.

Here is an example with a patched iproute2. vxlan10 is created in the
current netns (netns0, nsid 0) and then moved to another netns (netns1,
nsid 1):

$ ip netns exec netns0 ip monitor all-nsid label
[nsid 0][NSID]nsid 1 (iproute2 netns name: netns1)
[nsid 0][NEIGH]??? lladdr 00:00:00:00:00:00 REACHABLE,PERMANENT
