I won't be breaking the existing interfaces so there will be a new
rtnl_link_add_and_return() function or something along those lines.

So you can switch to that function and require a minimal libnl version
whenever you feel comfortable.

Not sure if NM actually needs this at all since it will be depending
on the interface name to identify and reuse existing virtual
interfaces.
