It would be nice to get a summary on how this going to be used.
At this time I don't understand why nftnl needs this api,
the kernel doesn't enforce any format on this data (good), so we cannot
rely on it having any specific format when reading arbitrary userdata
(added by someone else).

This should be plain EXPORT_SYMBOL everywhere, ALIAS is just
for backwards compat.
