Summary: AF_NETLINK support for socket module

Initial Comment:
I noticed that the socket module contains the
AF_NETLINK constant, but that it was missing the code
to make it work.  Here's a patch to add netlink socket
support.

AF_NETLINK is used on Linux as a means of communication
between the kernel and user processes (though it can
actually be used between user processes too).  See the
netlink(7) manpage for some more details.
