I'm wondering, before it was quite easy to add new sysfs
attributes with just a few lines thanks to macros. Now we
need to add code in four more places in netlink.c whenever we introduce a
new configuration option.

Would it be possible (and maybe even reduce code size?) if the
sysfs and netlink parts were wrapped into some (macro) functions and/or
structs, to still be able to add options from a central place and with
only a few lines?

Or would that become too ugly? Or not worth the effort for the few
options we have right now?
