[Joseph Salisbury]

== SRU Justification ==

Netlink notification is missing when an interface is modified on kernels 
older that 3.18.  These commits are only needed in Trusty.  An example of 
this bug is:

ip monitor link&
ip link set eth1 txqueuelen 18

=> no notification

This bugs is fixed by four commits, which also require on commit as a prereq, 
which is commit 7d49b1f0f8e5.

    rtnl/do_setlink(): notify when a netdev is modified

== Regression Potential ==
There is a chance for regression due to the number of changes.  However, two of
the patches are to print warning messages.


== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with these patches and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
