This new API is independent of netdev.c and allows actually
unregistering from receiving notifications of frames, although with some
quirks. The current API only allowed the callback for a registration to
be forgotten but our process and/or the kernel would still be woken up
when matching frames were received because the kernel had no frame
unregister call. In the new API you can supply a group-id paramter when
registering frames. If it is non-zero the frame_watch_group_remove() call
can be used to remove all frame registrations that had a given group-id
by closing the netlink socket on which the notifications would be
received. This means though that it's a slightly costly operation.
The file is named frame-xchg.c because I'm thinking of also adding
utilities for sending frames and waiting for one of a number of replies
and handling the acked/un-acked information.
