No, that's really not a good approach at all. First of all, do not
take the raw name "wireguard". That's going to cause a lot of
confusion. It's really not appropriate.

But more importantly, you shouldn't expose either the netlink or the
xplatform API distinction to users ever. They should be given one
interface, not three, and that one interface should be able to select
the right thing in 100% of cases.
