OK, so I somewhat miss a description of what will this do to the netlink
message so that I can judge whether the change is fine for the userspace
counterpart parsing these messages. AFAIU this changes the message format
by adding a QUOTA_NL_A_PAD field before each 64-bit field which needs an
alignment, am I guessing right? Thus when the userspace counterpart uses
genlmsg_parse() it should just silently ignore these attributes if I read
the documentation right. Did I understand this correctly?
