This is kinda why I've always thought it'd be good to generate all the
APIs from a single base specification. That would also help
tremendously for consistency, and even implementation-wise it'd be far
less "code".

I don't really have a good feeling for how feasible this is yet, but it
seems that the biggest issue would likely be around the existing
ctrl_iface rather than any new additions.

Christopher, are you or anyone else involved going to be at netdev next
month, perhaps we could discuss this there?
