 *
 * Bare Netlink is an unreliable transport protocol.  This function layers
 * reliable delivery and reply semantics on top of bare Netlink.
 *
 * In Netlink, sending a request to the kernel is reliable enough, because the
 * kernel will tell us if the message cannot be queued (and we will in that
 * case put it on the transmit queue and wait until it can be delivered).
 *
 * Receiving the reply is the real problem: if the socket buffer is full when
 * the kernel tries to send the reply, the reply will be dropped.  However, the
 * kernel sets a flag that a reply has been dropped.  The next call to recv
 * then returns ENOBUFS.  We can then re-send the request.
 *
 * Caveats:
 *
 *      1. Netlink depends on sequence numbers to match up requests and
 *         replies.  The sender of a request supplies a sequence number, and
 *         the reply echos back that sequence number.
 *
 *         This is fine, but (1) some kernel netlink implementations are
 *         broken, in that they fail to echo sequence numbers and (2) this
 *         function will drop packets with non-matching sequence numbers, so
 *         that only a single request can be usefully transacted at a time.
 *
 *      2. Resending the request causes it to be re-executed, so the request
 *         needs to be idempotent.
