This is not a syscall, it is a new type of client. All other are in public
namespace: svc_tli_create, svc_tp_create, svc_dg_create, svc_vc_create. Of
course this one is a bit special, it is designed to communicate to the kernel,
not to remote hosts, but IMHO we should allow to create 3-rd party clients that
would talk to kernel via Netlink RPC.
