 * 2006-01-14 Harald Welte <[email protected]>:
 * 	introduce nfnl_subsys_handle
 *
 * 2006-01-15 Pablo Neira Ayuso <[email protected]>:
 * 	set missing subsys_id in nfnl_subsys_open
 * 	set missing nfnlh->local.nl_pid in nfnl_open
 *
 * 2006-01-26 Harald Welte <[email protected]>:
 * 	remove bogus nfnlh->local.nl_pid from nfnl_open ;)
 * 	add 16bit attribute functions
 *
 * 2006-07-03 Pablo Neira Ayuso <[email protected]>:
 * 	add iterator API
