Thanks for the patch, I have applied it to my tree with minor modifications
(added your name to the top of ipvrf.c, had ipvrf.c include linux/sockios.h
for the VRF ioctl numbers as opposed to hard coding them.)  If you're looking
for another project, I know one of the complaints from the netdev
maintainters is that the creation of VRFs is done via ioctl() calls.  They
would prefer that it uses netlink.
